Black business has been booming up in Tokyo. In the string of robberies centered in the Tokyo metropolitan area, many of the perpetrators turned to social networking sites to find “black jobs” to commit the crimes. Some of the postings were made under the guise of ordinary part-time jobs, such as pick-up and drop-off or moving services, and the techniques have become more sophisticated. Police authorities strongly urge people not to apply for jobs that emphasize ease of use and high income or direct them to highly confidential communication applications.
30 different accounts,main communication app is signal and telegram. “Tataki(Beat)” means bribery role, UD represents the head letter of “Ukeko(Reciever)” and “Dashiko(Deliver)” Hushtag Tataki, UD has been utilized in X.
A series of postings on X (formerly known as Twitter) claiming high-paying jobs appear one after another. The National Police Agency (NPA) has commissioned the private sector to handle information on suspected black-market job offers, using artificial intelligence (AI) and other tools to request the removal of such information from website administrators and others. In the first half of this year, 8,161 cases of such information were confirmed, and more than 4,000 cases were deleted.
The Agency and prefectural police are also promoting efforts to reply to X postings suspected of being a black marketer and issue warnings. In many cases, the postings are deleted immediately after the warning.
It is believed that anonymous and fluid crime groups (Tokuryu) are frequently using the “black work” system to secure actors to carry out robberies and special frauds. In some cases, they threaten applicants and their families by showing violent videos, and it is difficult to get out of the system once one has entered. A senior police official warned, “I want people to be aware that the black market job may be used as a means to get the job done.
