In the Corona era, as non-face-to-face second-hand transactions increase, cases of fraud damage through fake safe transaction sites are increasing.
Oh!
The third search term for clicking is 'safe transaction' and second-hand purchases.
Mr. A contacted the seller when he saw an article recently about selling an unopened baby bottle sterilizer at a mom's cafe.
The seller suggested that we make a delivery transaction using the 'safe transaction' system, and explained that when money is put into a virtual account for safe transaction, the money is transferred to the seller only after the buyer receives the product and presses Confirm Purchase.
Mr. A accessed the link without any doubt and deposited 102,000 won for the item including the fee.
However, the seller asked for a re-deposit, saying, "I have to deposit 100,000 won without commission," and then made all kinds of excuses, such as 'I have to set the total amount to 5 million won' and 'I keep getting errors' in order to get a refund of the wrong amount. started waiting.
In this way, while talking for close to two hours, the seller ripped off a whopping 20 million won from Mr. A.
After a while, Mr. A searched through a fraud information sharing site and found that 52 cases of fraud were reported with the same account number.
Netizens responded, "Scam methods are getting more and more sophisticated. Even young people will be beaten if they crack it up.", "It's difficult to get money back even if you catch scammers in second-hand transactions, so please strengthen the law."
