Japan portable Wi-Fi scam?


Pocket-Wi-Fi scam?

Hi all,

I booked a pocket Wi-Fi (late) last night on the following website.

https://pocket-wifi-japan.com/?locale=en

All looked fine when booking , I received a confirmation email and didn’t notice any other obvious red flags at the time.

However when I went on the website this morning to get a bit more details, I noticed all the reviews seem to be made up , no external links work and it seems someone has just copied and pasted whole website from ‘foxwifi’ changing the wording slightly , but at times leaving the foxwifi name in place of their own : https://foxwifi.tokyo/en.

I cannot find mention of this company or website anywhere despite supposedly trading since 2004.

I am very cornered now as they already have my card and passport details!

Has anyone used or heard of this platform before?

  1. Checked out the website. Support phone number is Italian. Company name does not exist. Representative David Shimano. Not impossible but veeery unusual. No links working. If I was you I’d change your credit card right away.
