Mina-san, imagine you are an old Japanese man/woman. If a オレオレ詐欺 (Ore Ore Sagi) criminal calls you, how would you respond on the phone?

I think we already had that grammar point in one of the early upper intermediates… I think the one with the talk show…
Still nice to hear it once again and refresh one’s memory.
By the way, although I’m really satisfied with the levels and Jpod101 generally, I have a suggestion for a new show. Maybe something like the Advanced Audioblogs at Germanpod101? Something that was like Miki’s blog, but with more advanced/formal/literary vocabulary and texts. I would also like to see texts from literature explain at Jpod101 one day. I really find it hard translating them myself.
Thanks a lot, once again

My wife received one of these calls, with the voice on the other end claiming to be Shun, our son. Except at home he never goes by his Japanese name, so it was a dead giveaway that he would identify himself by that name. So my wife responded “Shun no dare?”. The guy on the other end then swore and slammed down the phone. This happened a few years after my son graduated from high school, so we can only surmise that the would-be swindlers came across some high school graduation list or the like.

SashTheRed-san,
Thank you for your valuable feedback!
As for the audio blog, we will start a new series of audio blog next year. I think this new series is more advanced than Miki’s blog, and has more literary expressions. Please look forward to it!
Bob1-san,
Thank you for sharing with us your experience! Did it happen in Japan?

Bob1 san>Wow that sounds freaky! Hope that will NEVER happen to your fam. again!

前のコメントの続きですが、振り込めさぎの深刻化に対して、ジャパンタイムズで下記の記事がありました。
「全国の警察が振り詐欺への警戒を強めている。警察庁によると、10月1-14日の間の同詐欺の被害届は計621件、被害額は厄億円だが、きょうねん1-8がつの1日平均より件数で約3割、金額で4割減少した。手口ではオレオレ詐欺が最も多く、送金法としてはATMの使用は減少傾向にあるが、詐欺グループが銀行員や警察官を装って被害者宅に現金などを受け取りね行く手口が増えている。東京では警察官が声を掛けて被害を防いだものがこの間に72件あったと言う。」
Watch out for the mafia coming round your house everybody!!!:
