We have received several reports that users are tricked into entering their code either to a discord channel or through a forged website designed to steal the passcode. Never share your passcode to anyone. Always input your passcode directly on to your Japan esShop console first. Sharing the code will allow a third party person to use the code resulting in a used code.
