The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Regarding the increase in PayPay money-transfer scams, the report cited the growing use of schemes that direct recipients from SMS messages impersonating notices about fictitious charges to PayPay's money-transfer screen. It also said the schemes are believed to exploit PayPay, which is used routinely, to make victims believe they are completing a legitimate payment.
