Hi, I’m currently living in japan on a student visa. I work a baito, about 26 hours a week. Students are only permitted to work about 28 hours a week. However, sometimes I do photoshoots and earn a little money as a freelance model. Usually it‘s just casual photoshoots with freelance photographers, and I only earn around 1万 each time, sometimes less than that. I’ve never actually signed a contract with any brands or participated in a big photoshoot.
However, I’ve been receiving threatening emails and messages from a man I met up initially to discuss a modeling work opportunity that if I don’t continue meeting with him that he will report to me to immigration for making extra money outside of my baito. Is this genuinely something I can get in trouble for if he really goes through with it? I’m already scared by his behavior even though I know in the end he’s mostly trying to coerce me into going on dates with him. I don’t know how to get out of this situation, I want to go to the police but I’m not sure if they can help me or would see it as a big deal, and I am paranoid over the threat of being reported.
If anyone has a similar experience by chance I would appreciate knowing what the next step should be. Thank you
