The National Police Agency launched a Web site Thursday that will offer automatic answers to questions about Internet-related crimes, including online auction fraud, fraudulent online billing and so-called phishing.
The NPA said it wants to constantly gather information on Internet crimes and hopes its operations reflect these data. "We want to regularly deal with (Internet-related) trouble to prevent crimes and improve the environment for the security and safety of the IT society," an NPA official said.
The Web site -- www.cybersafety.go.jp/ -- features consultations, receives inquiries and offers advice.
