This is a phone call received by a 20-year-old job seeker in Sunchang, Jeollabuk-do last January.
[Voice phishing call: Thank you.
This is the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.
This is Minsu Kim.] It
is voice phishing that he was involved in financial fraud.
They threaten to be arrested if they do not cooperate with the investigation.
[Voice Phishing Call: When the phone is turned off, it automatically switches to forced investigation.
Imprisonment for up to two years and fines up to 30 million won...
.] After
talking on the phone for 11 hours, I went to Yeouido, Seoul, looking for 4 million won.
After the money was taken, the currency was not available, so I was shocked and made an extreme choice.
[Mother of the victim (last February): I lived a normal life.
After two years of normal work in the countryside, I might not have died if I knew.
These days, I don't think this is the case.]
Police arrested 93 voice phishing gangs that had even called death.
In the last 5 years, only the confirmed victims were 300, and the amount of damage exceeded 10 billion won.
Most of them are from Jeonbuk gangsters.
After moving to China, it became a crime group specializing in voice phishing.
He would change it to a low-interest loan or pretended to be a prosecution or financial institution.
The homepage of the fake prosecutor's office was decorated with a basic, fake prosecutor's office to make video calls.
The police are continuing to pursue the rest of the crew, including those who pretended to be prosecutor Kim Min-soo, who drove a job-ready student to death, by arranging a red match for Interpol.
