As more and more people are looking for masks, there are even more people who sell many times more than usual, or even take money. There are articles on the Internet saying that you will buy millions of masks, but starting tomorrow (5th), you may get a maximum sentence of two years in prison if you are caught collecting them.

Housewife Lee Mo was recently scammed for buying a mask on a used secondhand site.

I sent money to write 100 masks for 100,000 won, which is cheaper than the market price. However, when I tried to cancel my order with an extra fee, I asked him to pay another 100,000 won to get a refund.

[Emo / Mask Fraud Victims: Tell me about the fee so I'll refund you, I'll refund you right away. It is refundable from 300,000 won. I confirmed that I was wrong.]

This mask seller has been renamed and still open.

[Amo / Mask Fraud Victim: This came up again yesterday. (I'm embarrassed) I've been getting scammed people ever since me.]

Even among distributors, fraud is often fraudulent, like stealing a photo of another's goods or losing money.

In addition to masks, a growing number of distributors buy hand sanitizers, goggles, dustproof clothing, and thermometers.

In real time, you will buy from thousands to millions.

The government revised the relevant notice so that tomorrow, if you buy medical supplies such as masks, you can face up to two years in prison or a fine of 50 million won.
