voice phishing criminal who tried to steal money by deceiving a restaurant employee as a banker has been arrested.
It was thanks to the wit of the restaurant owner who was suspicious of the culprit's words and actions, as if he was not a bank employee.

An employee making a serious phone call with someone.
After a while, A, a woman in her 30s, who had a phone conversation with an employee, enters the restaurant.
Mr. Lee, the restaurant owner, is closely observing Mr. A.
[Mr. Lee/Restaurant President: You are the manager in charge of our kitchen.
When a bank employee is coming, the manager says that he has to prepare cash...
.]
Before Mr. A's arrival, the employee, who explained what he did to Mr. A, said that Mr. A, a bank employee, had to repay the existing loan in order to get an additional loan from him, and that she had come to receive the money.
[Damaged employee: payment is suspended.
Because I keep putting pressure on people like that, all I had to think about was that I had to pay it back quickly and solve it.]
When an employee exceeded 15 million won in cash withdrawn from the bank, Mr. Lee, unable to erase the suspicious feeling, asked for a business card. I was convinced that it was a voice phishing crime when I saw Mr. A getting on the elevator while gibbling.
She rushed down the stairs before the elevator, and Mr. Lee caught Mr. A, who was running away from here, and handed it over to the police.
As a result of the police investigation, it was found that Mr. A had a similar criminal history several times as a voice phishing cash collector.
The police sent Mr. A to the prosecution on charges of fraud and awarded Mr. Lee a citation for arresting the criminal.
