[Pick] Voice phishing pretending to be the prosecution... If you doubt whether it's'Jin'?

In order to prevent voice phishing damage, the prosecution will launch a call center where you can check whether documents related to the prosecution are forged.

Today (29th), the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office announced that it would set up a'direct call center' that quickly and accurately checks the authenticity of documents used for voice phishing, and started working from that day.

The'voice

are

' called

', was created as a result of analyzing a total of 432 voice phishing cases prosecuted by the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office this year.

Of the criminal offenses, about 40% (176 cases) were impersonated by the prosecution, and in particular, many cases were found using forged documents related to the prosecution.

For example, a voice phishing criminal presents a forged arrest warrant, saying, "The cannon passbook in your name was used for fraud and an arrest warrant was issued. Sending 30 million won will allow you to be investigated without detention." There was a case of punishment.

There was also a case in which he pretended to be a Seoul Central District Prosecutor with a forged certificate of employment and tricked him into saying, "There is a person who wants to take money from your account, so we will withdraw cash from the account and store it safely and return it later."

The central district

' 24 hours a day, 365 days a year

to prevent such damage from voice phishing

.

If you call this direct number, the investigators in charge will check the contents of the documents used for voice phishing and inform you of the authenticity.

Sending a photo of a document from a suspicious number as a text message allows for quicker verification.

In addition, the prosecution also guided how to identify voice phishing impersonating the prosecution.

△ Voice phishing scammers ask you to withdraw cash, but the prosecution does not make such a request in any case. △ Voice phishing scammers threaten to be arranged if you hang up. △The prosecution explained that they would not send documents by text message on mobile phones or meet on the street and give them documents.

The central district prosecutor said, "From the standpoint of experts, it is easy to determine whether or not forged documents, but ordinary people who are not familiar with prosecution documents often believe that they are real documents and are subjected to fraud." If you check whether the documents are forged or not, it is expected that the damage prevention effect will be great.”
