Daeryun Law Firm, “If you are involved in a voice phishing crime, it is important to respond early through a criminal lawyer.”
As voice phishing crimes become more sophisticated, the types of damage are becoming more diverse. In addition to victims who have suffered financial damage by impersonating government agencies such as prosecutors, police, and the Financial Supervisory Service or by threatening to kidnap family members, the number of people who are being punished by voice phishing through exposure of bank account or personal transaction information is increasing. The above voice phishing intermediate delivery and withdrawal methods take advantage of the recent economic recession by finding account numbers and depositing large amounts of unidentified money using emergency loans as bait, and then requesting remittance due to a deposit error or △ citing employment. The methods are also becoming more diverse, such as requesting an account number, check card, and password to withdraw the money deposited by the victim; calling with a caller ID limit to send cash and requesting proxy purchase of Bitcoin; requesting that the proceeds deposited by the customer be remitted to a borrowed-name account for tax reduction. In addition, malicious code is planted through text messages and applications through smartphones, and when the victim calls the financial institution to confirm, they are connected to the call center of a voice phishing organization. Therefore, they can undoubtedly be involved in crime. The punishment for this is not light. Even if there was no criminal intent, it is difficult to avoid liability if a victim is incurred through an act such as renting a bank account. Violation of the Electronic Financial Transactions Act can result in imprisonment of up to 3 years or a fine of up to 20 million won, and fraud, which involves obtaining property benefits through deceptive acts, is punishable by up to 10 years in prison or a fine of up to 20 million won. In the case of aiding and abetting fraud, the punishment varies depending on the degree of participation in the fraud. According to Daeryun Law Firm, in order to avoid being deceived by a fraud method and becoming an unwitting accomplice in a voice phishing crime, it is advised to contact a criminal lawyer immediately after learning of the damage and respond clearly from the beginning. Even if they claim to be unfair, the actual voice phishing gang member also claims, “I didn’t know because I was fooled by a high-paying part-time job advertisement,” so it is not easy to prove innocence without legal help. Dae-ryun is a similar case. He was tricked into lending four of his check cards by asking for his check card and password because he needed account information to get a part-time job. He said that he helped a client involved in the case with a voice phishing intermediate method and ended up with a small fine. Law firm.
