Just got a suspicious call from 入国管理局

I just got a sus phone call from +1 (844) 715-9213 that identified itself as a 入国管理局から重要な知らせがあるます (an important notification from the Immigration Bureau of Japan). Press 1 for Japanese, press 2 for Chinese. Interesting that the Japanese government is calling from a U.S. number (/s).

Needlesss to say, I don't believe the Japanese immigration people are calling foreigners in Japan, so everyone should watch out for spammers and phishers.

Crap, now I have to wonder how they got my phone number and what other info they might have. Guess I'll change all my passwords and stuff.

Edit: I forgot to mention that there was a professional sounding voice recording in Japanese announcing the call from immigration, if you hear this, beware.
