“Give me back 40,000 yen”, “Kneel down on the ground”… The whole story of how a victim woman takes a cancer-stuffed “dad scammer” to the police | Smart FLASH[光文社週刊誌]

“Trickster! Trickster!”

In early February, the rough voices of men and women echoed through Kabukicho. Near the Shinjuku Ward Office, an elderly man is surrounded by nearly 10 men and women. The man has an exhausted look on his face.

“I was defrauded of money by this man named Suzuki (pseudonym) through papa katsu. I know that there are more than 10 victims, including myself. After the damage, I was blocked and lost contact. But this time, I succeeded in luring Suzuki.”

That’s what Ms. A, a woman who has been working as a dad for several years, says. She asked A about the full extent of her damage.

“I met Suzuki in December last year. We met on a matching app, and at that time his name was ‘Masa.’ 100,000 yen at most.

However, he said, “I want a deposit of 40,000 yen so that I can trust you.” I was a little skeptical, but I agreed.

On the day of the meeting, I confirmed that the envelope Suzuki was holding contained 150,000 yen, and I put the 40,000 yen I brought in another envelope with Suzuki. I moved to the coin locker right next to it and put away the envelope containing 150,000 yen.

After that, he invited me to go to a convenience store. Suzuki said, “I’ve got a call, so please wait,” and left the store, never coming back.

Thinking, “I’m sorry,” I hurriedly opened the coin locker and checked the contents of the envelope.

I think Suzuki probably changed the envelope before depositing it in the coin locker. The envelope containing my money was still in his hand… Clearly, we lost contact. I’m really sorry.”

Four female victims, including Ms. A, gathered in Kabukicho that day. The man who helped them reveals the circumstances.

“When I received a consultation from a woman who had been a victim, I thought, ‘I want to lend you my help.’ Today, too, it is dangerous for women to come alone, so I asked my colleagues to come. We couldn’t get in touch with Suzuki anymore, so we asked another Papa-katsu-joshi to get in touch with Suzuki.Today, she’s meeting with Suzuki in front of the Shinjuku Ward Office.”

Suzuki showed up at 3:00 p.m., just in time for the meeting with the “decoy woman.” As he approaches the woman, he puts his hand around her waist and walks towards the hotel district. There, the female victims who had been waiting a little distance rushed over with a ferocious dash.

“Mr. Suzuki, right? Do you remember what you did to us?”

Suzuki shows a surprised expression when he is called out. In an instant, he was surrounded by more than a dozen men and women, bombarded with questions.

“Can I have my 40,000 yen back?”
“Would you like me to turn over here?”
“You’re a habitual offender, aren’t you?”

Then Suzuki said, “I admit it! I admit it, so let’s go to the police anyway,” and confessed to his fraudulently. Still, women’s anger does not subside.

“You’re going to give a girl a bad time today too!”
“Please kneel on the ground!”
“How many people are you deceiving?”
“Are you human, but still?”
“Even though you rubbed my butt on the escalator!”
“Would you like us to give you our sincere opinion?”

Suzuki, who was cornered, reported to the police himself, saying, “I will talk when the police come.” A few minutes later, the police arrived and Suzuki was taken to the Kabukicho police box, followed by the women.

Around 16:30, Suzuki came out of the police box, looked down and was put in a police car and headed for the Shinjuku police station.

The previous man tells the story of what happened after that.

“At the police box, they were told, ‘There is a higher chance of getting your money back if you settle out of court than if you filed a damage report,’ so the women who were present withdrew.

However, at a later date, more than half of the victims who gathered about 10 people filed damage reports. That’s why I think Suzuki had a strong desire to give criminal punishment.

This time, after talking to them, I realized that there are still many women in the papa-katsu community who are having a hard time. I look forward to continuing to work together to help these women.”

Will the day come when the grudges of the girls who are active as dads will be cleared?
