 Beware of solicitation by cults or antisocial groups

 In recent years, solicitation for cult groups and malicious business practices has been becoming increasingly active in various places inside and outside of the university. Cults and malicious business practices approach you with clever words, hiding their true identities. Their method of approach is extremely clever, and even if you think you could never be deceived, you can be drawn in little by little without you even realizing what’s going on. The recruiters are extremely friendly, and will listen to your worries about all sorts of things. Once involved in such a group or activity, it is extremely difficult to escape from it, and there are serious cases where students abandon their studies and suffer mental, physical, and property damage, and their studies and lives are driven to the point of collapse.
 If you have any doubt, please do not hesitate to consult an advisorteaching staff member, the Educational Affairs of your school, the Universal Consultation Office, or the Student Service Section, Student Support Division, Educational and Student Affairs Department.
 And if you suspect that a friend suffers damage, please also seek a consultation in the same way.

  • ●In most cases, they approach you with seemingly normal topics such as international exchange, volunteer work, medical care and welfare. Also be very careful about invitations to study groups, meetings, lectures, facility tours, requests to monitor teaching materials or equipment, questionnaires, etc.
    You need to be particularly careful about persons who approach you without revealing their identities.
  • ●Solicitations via e-mail and various social media, such as Facebook, LINE, X, and Instagram, are also seen. So be careful.
  • ●Do not easily tell your name, address, phone number LINE ID, or other personal information to others.
