Last July, a street in Massong-ri, Gimpo, Gyeonggi-do.
A woman, distracted by a phone call, greets a man and hands him a paper bag.
The man in his 20s who received the envelope found an ATM in a nearby apartment complex.
At the same time, a resident of an apartment in his 60s who came looking for cash is standing in front of the ATM.
From time to time I look around the stand and wait for the young man to finish his work.
After a while, were you aware of the residents in their 60s outside the ATM?
A young man in his twenties admits, saying, “Take a look at your work first.”
“The young man made politely concessions again. It took a long time.”
Inside the ATM where the residents of the apartment entered, there were piles of transfer receipts.
There was a record of sending 20 bills of 50,000 won and 1 million won each to the same person several times.
Suspicion grew even more when he pulled a bundle of money out of his black bag a while ago and kept depositing money.
A resident in his 60s who had doubts about “voice phishing” presented some receipts and reported it to the police.
Police arrived and arrested a man in his 20s at the scene, charged with raising money for a voice phishing organization.
The money transferred by this man was 9 million won.
The man’s 21 million won were also seized on the spot.
It was the money that the voice phishing organization deceived and hijacked from the victim saying, “I’ll give you a low interest loan.”
A police officer said he expects active help from citizens to prevent the harms of voice phishing.
