Familiar faces appear on a promotional poster for a company.
Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong is next to President Moon Jae-in, and Hyundai Motor Chairman Chung Eui-sun is also seen below.
An absurd advertisement that the president and the heads of the first and second largest chaebol groups in Korea invested in them. It was found that this company created a financial group called ‘Y Club’ and then attracted 4,300 members to steal 5 billion won.
If you pay 1 to 1.2 million won in cash or virtual currency, you will be encouraged to sign up for high-profit business rights such as cell phones and mask dealerships or pay large allowances in the future.
Gyeonggi-do Fair Special Judicial Police Corps created an unregistered multi-level sales organization and caught 30 people, 3 companies, on charges of taking money in the name of membership fees.
Another company that was caught was operating an unregistered multi-level sales organization of 28,000 people by selling study materials, generating a whopping 220 billion won in sales.
A company was also caught saying that if you purchase 49 million won items, such as cosmetics and health food, you will receive a 250 million won allowance, which is 500% of the profit.
It was a pseudo-multi-step format in which new sellers had to be brought in to receive allowances, and from July to this month, they made illegal profits worth 10.5 billion won from 13,000 members.
According to the Act on Door-to-Door Sales, etc., a person who expands salespersons and manages or operates an unregistered multi-level marketing organization is punished by imprisonment for not more than 7 years or a fine of not more than 200 million won.
In these multi-level fraud cases, victims often become entangled by recruiting acquaintances or family members as members.
Because of this, they are passive in reporting or cooperating with investigations, making investigation difficult.
In particular, recently, the damage may be greater through SNS or YouTube, so it seems that consumers need to pay special attention.
