A citizen who played a decisive role in catching a voice phishing criminal with a quick report received a reward and a letter of commendation from the police.
On the 23rd, Mr. A saw Mr. B splitting and transferring cash several times at a bank ATM in Gwangju, and immediately reported voice phishing to 112.
Expectations were not wrong.
Mr. B was found to be a voice phishing cash collector, and at the time, he was remitting 17 million won from the victim.
It turns out that Mr. A, including this case, reported four times this year alone and played a decisive role in arresting four voice phishing cash collectors.
The Gwangju Police Agency paid a citation and compensation in consideration of recovering some of the damages from the scene thanks to Mr. A's report and contributing to the arrest of the culprit.
Mr. A expressed his feelings, saying, 'The secret is not to naturally look around and pay attention to people who act suspiciously with the thought that voice phishing crimes must be prevented.'
