Nowadays, it's harder to find people who don't wear masks outside of their homes, and sales scams that sell for a few times more than usual or collect only money for the explosive demand are on the rise. Hoarding is also a polarity, and if you are honing a mask from today (5th), you may be sentenced to up to two years in prison.

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 for a $ 100 extra to get a refund, which is all about $ 200.

[Memo / Mask Buy Scam Victims: Tell me about the fees so I'll refund you, please refund right away (I'll send you more money). It is refundable from 300,000 won. I confirmed that I was wrong.]

This mask seller has been renamed and still open.

[Emo / Mask Buy Scam Victims: This is another day yesterday. (I'm embarrassed) I've been getting scammed people ever since me.]

Distributors are also fraudulent, stealing pictures of other goods as if they were their own, or losing contact with 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 when buying medical supplies such as masks, it could be up to two years in prison or a fine of 50 million won.
