SBS 'I want to know' tracks dating app scams.



'I want to know about it', which will be broadcast on the 9th, with the subtitle 'Secret Temptation of a Decoy-Dating App Scam', will dig into a new scam using dating apps.



Victims met a man named 'Gold Spoon' through a 'dating app' that introduced them to the opposite sex.

The 'Gold Spoon' is said to have perfect looks, manners, and financial power.

His appearance revealed in the profile picture was literally a handsome man, and the conversation continued smoothly even though it was a conversation through a chat window.

In this way, the nickname 'Gold Spoon' appeared on various dating apps and captured the hearts of others.



However, all the women who fell in romantic feelings after meeting with 'Gold Spoon' had to face unhappiness soon after.

Surprisingly, the misfortune began the same.

That the man had entrusted them with a large sum of money.



The production team of 'I Want To Know That' met women who said they became unhappy because of the man.

However, the men in the dating app profile pictures that the women showed were all different people.

The only thing they had in common was a tall height and a pleasing face, but the men's ages, occupations, and places of residence were all different.

A man who introduced himself as an investment expert working in an investment group, a CEO who runs a golf course, and a chef who runs a restaurant.

His residence also varied from Japan, Hong Kong, and China.

Women who wanted to meet him quickly, but couldn't.

His explanation was plausible.

He said that he had just arrived from a foreign country and was in self-quarantine, and that he wanted to meet him as soon as the quarantine was over.

It is said that waiting for only 6-7 days was enough to clear doubts from the hearts of women, and he said that he was digging into the negligence.



The man's next trick was to become a lamb in need.

A man who suddenly asks the person he was talking to while waiting for a meeting.

He said that because of his special circumstances, he could lose a large amount of money, and the gist of the request was to help him receive the money.

Misfortune came when the women decided to help him.

The more they did something, the more their money disappeared, rather than being able to find his money.



Women who became in debt in exchange for taking a large sum of money on behalf of men.

It is said that the man did not appear on the day we were supposed to meet, and suddenly disappeared from the chat window.

The women who got to know him blamed themselves, saying that no one doubted him.

After a very simple request to exchange cyber money into cash, and the saying that only women can receive money, the women went into the site without any doubt by using the link to the site the man sent them.

The moment they clicked on that link, they fell into a trap they couldn't get out of and became victims.



Victims are sharing information about men they met through internet cafes and group chat rooms.

Victims were calling the 'decoy boys', meaning they threw the 'gold spoon' they met as bait to lure women to the trap site.

While the coverage of 'I Want to Know That' was in progress, new cases of damage were uploaded to the cafe every day.



Why did the victims have no choice but to take the money of someone they had never seen before?

And the nickname 'Gold Spoon' that appeared on the dating app and made women cry, what is the identity of the bait man?

Is it just a scammer trying to seduce the victims by changing their face and name, or is there an organized scam group?

The production team of 'I Want to Know That' went on a quest to uncover the identity of the bait man and the cyber money site where the bait man seduced the victims.



The person who planned this new fraud crime, dating app fraud, while digging up the identity of the bastard who is making many victims by appearing on the dating app that has become more popular after the corona pandemic 'I want to know', which will track who they are and what they are, will be broadcast at 11:10 pm on the 9th.
