single Voice phishing continues to evolve…
This time, ‘phone + coin scam’ has won 450 million
Voice phishing (financial fraud over the phone) criminal organizations are implementing new methods to avoid being caught in the government-wide investigative network. It was also revealed that the recent ‘Drug Drinking’ incident in Gangnam, Seoul is a new type of crime that combines drug and telephone fraud. This time, the scammers were caught reaching out to virtual currency (coin). As the scale of losses increased due to the weak stock market, they would lure victims with coins as compensation bait. According to Hankook Ilbo’s comment on the 11th, at the end of last month, Mr. A received 6 people a day, saying that he had been victimized by phishing voice of 450 million won related to ‘D Coin’.
