[Notice of Mel Pay Payment Pause] Be careful of illegal payments with refunds of external services.

Thank you for your patronage of the Chikawa market.
Recently, there has been an unauthorized trick for customers to refund products purchased on a shopping site that are unrelated to our shop, because they are refunded and settled through Merpei.

Please be careful when encountering the following cases.

• Contact on SNS and message apps to refund with cashless payment service
• Request to read the QR code of the cashless payment service
• Acts such as listening to the information registered by customers in the cashless payment service

Please refer to the announcement information of the National Living Center for the Independent Administrative Organization.

Once remittance or payment procedure is completed, you will not be able to cancel the procedure, so please make sure that the refund procedure is suspicious.

In addition, with such an increase in fraudulent use, we have temporarily suspended the payment by Mel Pay.
We hope that you will understand.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but we look forward to your continued support.
