Tobira Systems Co., Ltd. has partnered with NTT Town Pages Corporation to launch ‘Fraud Prevention by NTT Town Pages,’ a smartphone app certified under the National Police Agency recommendation system for special fraud prevention apps. The app will be available free of charge starting March 5, 2026.
Phone based fraud in Japan is no longer limited to the elderly. The latest agency data indicates that more victims of the crime now belong to the age group below 65. The public now experiences two separate trends because more people choose to avoid answering unknown phone numbers yet this behavior leads to them missing actual phone calls. The new app tries to solve both problems.
It blocks or warns against suspicious numbers using fraud related data from the National Police Agency and Tobira Systems’ own database, which is updated daily. On the other side, it displays verified business names in real time using the i Townpage database, which contains around 5 million confirmed listings. That means users can see who is calling before they answer.

The app also delivers crime prevention updates and supports both iOS and Android, with some feature limits on older iOS versions.
The broader push is clear. Stop fraud before it starts, and restore basic trust in answering the phone.
