EXCLUSIVE: Former JAV Star Defrauded Of Millions By Scammers!

In an incident that sounds right out of the opening act of a prime-time crime drama, former JAV actress and K-1 ring girl Yuki Takeuchi has found herself at the center of a shocking fraud scandal this time, not as a performer, but as the unfortunate victim.

The statuesque beauty, known for her athletic physique and smoldering screen presence, revealed on her SNS that she had fallen prey to an elaborate and shockingly convincing phone scam, one that left her not just financially drained but emotionally gutted.

“All the funds I had seriously put in were taken,” she confessed to her 94k followers in a tweet posted on April 28th that has since gone viral. But this isn’t your average celebrity sob story. In an interview with Japanese media website SmartFlash Japan, Yuki revealed how calculated, psychologically manipulative crime that’s leaving victims in its wake across Japan, and it's no longer just targeting the elderly.

So, it all began innocently enough on April 28th. Yuki, fresh off a business meeting, received a phone call from a number ending in “110”, supposedly an uncanny resemblance disturbingly engineered to mimic the Japanese emergency number.

“I usually ignore unknown numbers,” she said, with a weary tone, “but I picked it up on impulse.”

On the other end? A man who claimed to be from the Metropolitan Police Department's Security Division. His message was direct and terrifying.

“You are suspected of being involved in a bank fraud case,” he told her. “We need to confirm your identity immediately.”

Though skeptical, the 30-year-old’s doubts started to melt away as the so-called officer rattled off personal details of her real name and current address, and they even went to the extent of sharing her old university address, making his claims believable. Well aware that he got her convinced, the mystery caller allege,d “Your name was found on a card seized from a known fraud suspect. If you can’t prove your innocence, we’ll forward your case to the prosecutor."

Let’s just be real, most of us would call it bait and flag it off as a nuisance, but for Yuk,i who once dreamed of joining law enforcement herself, this wasn’t a threat, more like a challenge to her deeply rooted sense of justice.

And with a dinner meeting looming, the starlet was told to “move to a location with no third parties” for a private conversation. Likely so, she ducked into a karaoke booth, both curious and anxious at the same time.

There, the voice of this particular 'Officer Hayashida' took over, speaking calmly and methodically, keeping Yuki engaged for over 90 minutes. “It felt real,” she admitted. “They knew everything. They even made small talk, apologizing for the inconvenience, asking about my plans afterward.”

And then, out of nowhere, she received a LINE message with a mock-up arrest warrant bearing her personal details. And Yuki was told to comply with the pressure that was gradually building up.

“They told me the Financial Services Agency needed to verify if any of the stolen funds were in my account,” she said. “They asked me to transfer everything I could into a ‘safe’ account one designated by the prosecutors themselves.”

And poof! Like that, her savings amounting to several million yen that she had saved up to launch her new profession were gone.

It wasn’t until she met an accomplice for dinner later that night that the clouds of manipulation began to lift. As she recounted the ordeal, her friend, seemingly shocked, raised alarms. An hour and a half after the transfer, she bolted to the nearest police station.

Too late.

“The police told me right away: real officers don’t use LINE, they don’t ask for fund transfers, and they don’t operate like that,” she said, devastated.

However, what’s most chilling about Yuki’s story isn’t just the monetary loss; it’s the amount of meticulous planning that went into pulling this off. As Yuki herself admitted in the interview, the scammers demonstrated a deep understanding of behavioral psychology. Their tone was calm, authoritative, and at times even empathetic, luring her into their meticulously planned web of deception

“They made a video call while I was at the ATM,” she revealed. “They said it was to prevent third-party interference, but it also made it harder for me to second-guess myself. I never felt like I was talking to a scammer.”

And she’s not alone.

After coming forward on SNS, Yuki was flooded with a swarm of messages, shockingly enough, many from her colleagues in the JAV industry admitting they, too, had been victims but were too hesitant to speak up.

“There’s this toxic idea that if you’re scammed, it’s your stupidity. But these criminals are professionals. Highly educated. Intelligent. Strategic.”

Adding insult to injury, Yuki fears that revealing her identity, even naming a fellow actress during the conversation, could have consequences for her career.

“They know my name. They know what I do. They know my naked body,” she said with quiet rage. “It’s a violation on so many levels. Financial, personal, professional.”

As our readers might be aware, the 30-year-old had already announced plans to retire from the adult entertainment industry at the end of 2025. Now, the scandal may hasten that timeline or force an entirely new career reckoning.

Takeuchi is using her SNS to promote awareness regarding this particular kind of fraud that involves forged warrants and digital arrests: don’t face this kind of situation alone.

“If you ever get a call like this, just say, ‘I’ll go to the police now.’ And then actually go. Or share your phone call with someone else in real-time. Don’t try to handle it yourself. That’s what they count on.”

She’s even issued a warning to her fans and followers: “If you’re thinking, ‘This could never happen to me’—that’s exactly what I thought.”

With her chin up and resolve stronger than ever, Takeuchi insists she won’t let the criminals win.

“There’s no point in hating them,” she said. “What matters now is how I use this experience. If I can protect just one person from going through this nightmare, then maybe, just maybe, something good can come from it.”

Be alert, stay skeptical, and remember: real cops don’t ask for funds over LINE.
