Osaka, Japan is set to introduce a new rule that will prohibit senior citizens from using ATMs while on phone calls in an effort to combat the increasing number of fraud cases targeting the elderly population. Scammers have been known to impersonate family members or officials to deceive victims into withdrawing money. The implementation of this law is scheduled for August, with ATM operators required to notify users about the ban to ensure compliance. This proactive measure aims to safeguard older adults from falling victim to financial scams and protect their hard-earned savings.
