Aria Mobil, known to campers as a company that manufactures and sells luxury campers.



I visited a company in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do.



The door is locked, and there are only household items inside as seen through the window.



The company's CEO and employees have recently lost contact with customers and disappeared. 



It is a vacant lot right next to the headquarters. 



As you can see, there are a lot of vehicles left with only the skeleton left because the work has not been finished yet.



From cases where tens of millions of won in down payment or 180 million won in full payment and not receiving a vehicle, there have been close to 100 victims and the damage is estimated at billions of won.



The company is said to have delayed the shipment of vehicles from last year even after receiving the advance payment.



[Mr. Kim / Victim of Camping Car Fraud: (The price of the vehicle) has been delayed about 6 times.

Parts are out of stock now, and the furniture was less assembled in the end...

[Mr. Lee / Victim of Camping Car Fraud: I have never received an accurate answer about how far the process has progressed, when it will end, and what it is doing.]



Last month, they even asked me to send the balance in cash to get the car quickly. 

[ Mo.



Park / Camper car scam victim: 'Any amount you want, can I transfer it within this week?' so I deposited 30 million won on January 21.]



I burst into anger.



[Mr. Kim / Victim of camper scam: Since it's a camper I live in because I want to travel with her mom, I've been told several times to keep the promised date...

The company in charge of repairing the campervan also announced that it would stop free after-sales service, saying that it did not receive payment from Ariamobile.



SBS called the CEO and other employees to get an explanation, but there was no response.



The police, who received the complaint, said they would start an investigation soon.
