As the end-of-year and early-year college entrance exam-related schedules are concentrated, voice phishing exploits the anxiety of test-takers and their parents.



In the voice phishing method disclosed by the Financial Supervisory Service, a scammer sent a text message saying 'Notice on admission inquiry and tuition payment' and asked for personal information such as name, resident registration number, and mobile phone number.



They even induced a fund transfer under the pretext of paying the tuition deposit to confirm admission.



The Financial Supervisory Service emphasized that if you receive a text message requesting personal information or transfer of funds for admission inquiries and tuition payment, you should thoroughly check whether the university you applied for is correct and look directly at the announcement of successful applicants on the university website.



In particular, if you do not immediately remit the tuition fee, you should be more calm when pressure is applied to other candidates, such as passing the pass.



If damage occurs, you can call the financial company's call center or the Financial Supervisory Service's call center to request suspension of payment of the account and apply for damage relief.
