The police have started tracking a man who has been habitually 'no-show' (the act of not showing himself after making a reservation) in restaurants and cafes.
On the 22nd, man B, who visited Mr. A's shop, who runs a kimbap restaurant in Gangdong-gu, Seoul, ordered 40 lines of gimbap and left a phone number saying, "I will pay for the food later."
Mr. A worked hard to prepare gimbap without receiving any other customers, but Mr. B did not show up at the promised time.
He didn't even get paid for the food.
Person A contacted the phone number left by Mr. B, but the person who answered the call was Mr. C, not Mr. B.
Mr. C said that he had stolen his cell phone number from Mr. B, saying, "It's not just one or two calls like this. In many cases, I've been getting calls several times a day for over 7 years." I got a call from."
As it turned out, it was found that Mr. B has been habitually committing similar crimes, mainly targeting companies where the president or employees work alone.
In February, it was also reported that a cafe located near a kimbap restaurant suffered damage from Mr. B's false order.
Mr. B ordered 12 drinks, including coffee, juice, and bubble tea, but did not show up.
The cafe owner said, "I tried to report it, but the amount of damage was relatively small, and I couldn't even report it because I was afraid that Mr. B would retaliate."
Also at a Chinese restaurant, Mr. B ordered more than 10 bowls of food and disappeared, saying, "Employees eat once in a long time."
He still didn't get any money.
Police believe that Mr. B placed a false order mainly in Gangdong-gu, Seoul, and are looking for him.
A police official said, "No additional damage has been officially reported to the police other than the kimbap restaurant.
