“If you delay reporting due to shame, it will be difficult to recover… the victim may become an accomplice” “You cannot respond to the request for additional remittance, which is another trap of ‘pay a fee and get a refund’” As it became known that a college student in his 20s went to Cambodia saying he wanted to attend an expo and was found tortured to death last August, the crimes of kidnapping and confinement of Koreans in Cambodia are coming to light one after another. Most of the crimes that occur locally are controlled by Chinese criminal organizations. They are committing crimes in the form of online fraud. Romance scams are one of the crimes they commit and have recently been spreading rapidly in Korea. ◆ “I thought it was love”… Romance scam damage amounted to 84.7 billion won in 8 months According to the National Police Agency on the 19th, romance scam damage increased rapidly from 1,265 cases and 67.5 billion won in February to December last year to 1,357 cases and 84.7 billion won in January to August this year. In terms of damage, it increased by more than 25%, exceeding last year's total in just eight months. There are various ways to build trust before committing a crime. They use religion to make the relationship feel like fate by saying, “God knows everything,” or they make the relationship special and valuable by saying, “I will be loyal to you” or “I will not disappoint you.” Ask personal and thoughtful questions, such as “How is your husband’s health?” It is about creating the perception that you are not just a conversation partner, but that you ‘understand’. There are many ways to extort money. “Terrorists have come to attack my camp. I need money,” “I want to come to you as soon as possible. Please give me the money needed to enter the country,” and “There is a good investment place, so I will introduce it to you.” As it is a crime based on trust, victims sometimes experience aftereffects such as shame, self-blame, and social phobia after learning of the damage. In some cases, people hesitate to report because it is difficult to state the facts of the damage. ◆ “If you hide it because you’re embarrassed, you won’t be able to find the damages”… How to respond to romance scams according to experts Experts advised that if you have become a victim of a romance scam, you should respond immediately. The first thing you need to do is freeze your account. Lawyer Shin Yong-hoon (Daeryun Law Firm) said, "You must contact the bank of the account you transferred money from and immediately suspend the use of the account. Since the account in question often has a Buddhist or canon account holder and money is withdrawn quickly, you must request prompt action from the bank." Evidence to be submitted to the investigative agency must include deposit details and conversation details exchanged with the other party. Attorney Dong-Hyeon Oh (New Royer Law Office) explained, “You can check the transaction confirmation or transfer confirmation on the banking app, and you can also obtain it directly from the bank,” adding, “You can submit the transfer details and the text messages or contact details exchanged with the other party of the romance scam to the investigative agency.” Attorney Shin added, “In a fraud case, what matters is what I was deceived into giving money to.” We must also be careful of additional damage that takes advantage of the victim's psychology. Attorney Oh emphasized, “There are cases where people are encouraged to make additional deposits by saying, ‘If you deposit the fee, the money can be refunded.’ It is best to cut off communication with the perpetrator of the romance scam, but even if it is difficult, you should never comply with the other party’s demands.” What is more serious is that the victim may become involved in the crime. Among the cases handled by Attorney Oh, there was one where the victim of a romance scam became an accomplice in a voice phishing crime. They took the victim's bankbook name and password, saying, "To recover the damage, you need the bankbook name." This victim unknowingly became a perpetrator involved in a voice phishing crime. Attorney Oh said, "Romance scam gang members do not only commit one crime, so they can lead victims to become accomplices. In addition to money, they should not hand over information that only the individual knows, such as name and bank account password." Prompt reporting of damage was also emphasized. Attorney Shin emphasized, "If you hesitate to report due to shame, the probability of recovering damages decreases even more. If you do not even report, the victim has no choice but to bear the entire damage." Attorney Oh said, "Damages may be recovered through criminal charges and, in some cases, civil lawsuits."[View full article] [Fraud crime on the rise] ㉓Romance scams ‘This is how we should respond’… “Quick reporting, account suspension, securing evidence” (Shortcut)

Defendant was found not guilty for "contacting while moving the parking payment kiosk" and "touching the victim by getting caught in her bag" A man in his 50s who was put on trial for molesting a woman who was paying at a parking lot kiosk was acquitted. On the 17th of last month, the Gwangju District Court found A, a man in his 50s, not guilty on charges of forcible assault. Mr. A was accused of touching the body of a woman, B, who was standing in front of a parking payment kiosk machine in a supermarket parking lot in Gwangju last year. Yes. Mr. A denied the charges. He had problems with his physical movements due to a chronic illness he had been suffering from, and he claimed that he accidentally bumped into him while he was moving when Mr. B, who was paying his bills, told him to use the machine next to him. He also emphasized that there were many people around at the time of the incident and that he had no reason to commit such a crime in a situation where his spouse was also with him. The court found Mr. A not guilty. The court said, "When looking at the CCTV footage of the scene, it can be confirmed that the defendant's arm was caught in the bag the victim was carrying and that the defendant's body came into contact," but added, "It cannot be concluded that the defendant touched with the intention of molestation." He added, "The defendant's spouse was very close by, and it is difficult to say that he committed the crime of forcible molestation immediately after talking to the victim in a situation where many people were passing by." Daeryun Law Firm, which represented Mr. A. Attorney Kim Seong-ik explained, "In order to establish a crime of forcible molestation, there must be proof beyond a reasonable doubt that there was an intention to commit molestation. Mr. A demonstrated that there was no intention by emphasizing that he did not intentionally approach Mr. B but was moving to settle the account."[View full article] A man in his 50s molested a woman who was paying her bills in a parking lot...

A woman in her 50s who was accused of embezzling the property of her sister, who was suffering from cancer, was cleared of the charges by the prosecution. According to the legal community on the 17th, the Jeonju District Prosecutors' Office decided not to indict A, a woman in her 50s, who was sent on charges of theft and fraud on the 22nd of last month. In December of last year, Ms. A transferred assets worth 120 million won, including the deposits of her sister, B, who was suffering from cancer, to her own and a third party's account. He was accused of stealing bribes. The accuser was the husband of Mr. B. Mr. A denied the charges. Mr. A stated that he only followed the wishes of his older sister, Mr. B, who entrusted him with all matters related to her property. Person A said, “My sister’s husband is an alcoholic and has a lot of business debt, so she relied on me a lot.” Regarding the reason why the money was deposited 15 times into the account of someone other than a family member, he added, "We discussed it at the beginning because there are gift tax issues if the money is deposited at once." The prosecution decided not to indict Mr. A. The prosecution said, "There is no dispute that the suspect transferred the money in the deceased's account to several people during the funeral period," and added, "The suspect took the lead in handling the deceased's overall property, including the deposit issue for rent, during his lifetime, and in a will-type video, he said, “Given the fact that the deceased mentioned entrusting the suspect with all distribution of assets, there is insufficient evidence to admit the charge,” he said. Attorney Lee Ha-neul of Daeryun Law Firm, who represented Mr. A, said, “Mr. A faithfully explained that he had no intention of stealing the property by supporting the deceased’s medical expenses and presiding over the funeral as a resident,” and added, “It is good to actively express to the court that the crime of theft cannot be established because the deceased had a clear intention to delegate.” “We were able to get results,” he explained.

The court ruled that if the unit to pay rent and the unit to terminate the contract due to late payment were set differently during the lease contract, it was an unfair contract unfavorable to the tenant and therefore invalid. On the 11th of last month, the 11th Civil Division of the Incheon District Court announced that it ruled in favor of the plaintiff company A in the 'suit to confirm the existence of a rental contract relationship' filed by cafe operator A against the Incheon Tourism Organization. The case dates back to 2023. Company A signed a 10-year lease agreement with the Incheon Tourism Organization to move into a tourist facility in Incheon. The terms of the contract included a clause to pay one year's rent in advance at the beginning of each year. However, contrary to expectations, as the number of visitors did not meet expectations, Company A ran into financial difficulties and was unable to pay rent last year. Accordingly, the Corporation sent a proof of contents to Company A early this year, urging Company A to pay rent. The proof of contents also included information that the contract would be terminated due to late payment. It was based on the clause in the contract that said, ‘If the monthly rent arrears reach 3 months, the contract can be terminated.’ The current Commercial Building Lease Protection Act stipulates that the landlord can terminate the contract when the tenant's rent arrears reach three periods. Company A immediately protested. It was argued that it was unfair to agree to pay rent at once on a ‘yearly basis’ and then calculate the contract termination conditions ‘on a monthly basis.’ In the end, Company A filed a lawsuit to confirm that the lease agreement was still valid. The court ruled in Company A’s favor. The court pointed out, "While the contract stipulated to pay rent on a yearly basis, the standard for termination in case of late payment was set at 3 months, which in itself is disadvantageous to the lessee." “Therefore, the provision for cancellation of late payments is ineffective, so it cannot be said that the rental contract was legally terminated due to the proof of contents sent by the Corporation,” the ruling said. Attorney Kim Seong-chan of Daeryun Law Firm, who represented Company A, said, “The reason for termination in the contract only stated ‘if the rent arrears amount to three periods under the Commercial Building Lease Protection Act,’” and “during the trial, ‘if the rent was to be paid on a yearly basis, He explained, “By actively asserting that ‘the rent is for 3 years,’ we were able to win the case after being recognized as a contract that was unfavorable to the lessee.” Reporter Hwang Jeong-won (jwhwang@mt.co.kr)[View full article] “I’m three months behind on rent, so please vacate the store”… When I looked at the contract, it was ‘invalid’ (Shortcut)

A middle school student who was subject to community service disciplinary action for group cyberbullying in a group messenger chat room filed a lawsuit to cancel the disposition and won. On the 10th of last month, the Daegu District Court ruled in a lawsuit filed by middle school student A against the head of the Uljin Office of Education in Gyeongsangbuk-do to cancel the school violence disciplinary action, saying, “The defendant should cancel the 6 hours of community service imposed on the plaintiff.” Student A, along with students from the same school in a messenger chat room last year, defamed Person B by swearing at him and spreading false information. For this reason, it was referred to the School Violence Measures Review Committee. The Office of Education, which investigated the incident, ordered Person A to perform 6 hours of community service. Person A, who objected to this order, filed an administrative lawsuit. He said that he had never sworn and that he only passively participated without understanding the context of the chat room. In addition, it was claimed that the Office of Education did not specifically specify 'acts recognized as school violence' in the process of imposing community service. The Office of Education refuted this. This is because Group A agreed with the words of other assailants and went along with the cyber bullying of Group B. It was also emphasized that the actions subject to review were specifically indicated during the school violence committee notification process. The court ruled in favor of Student A. The court said, "It is difficult to say that the plaintiff's comments in the chat room amount to insults that could lower the social evaluation of the victim student," and added, "They are merely passive and incidental remarks such as striking back or ending the conversation, and cannot be seen as spreading actual false information or making comments criticizing the victim." However, the court said. Regarding the claim that the reason for the disposition was not specified, he did not accept it, saying, "The plaintiffs attended the school violence committee and fully stated their opinions, and during this process, they would have been able to fully know the basis and reason for the community service disposition." Attorney Jeon Hyeong-oh of the Daeryun Law Firm, who represented Mr. A, said, "When reviewing defamation or insults that constitute school violence under the School Violence Prevention Act, it is necessary to fully review whether or not they have performance, which is a requirement under the criminal law." He added, "The remarks made by Mr. A in the chat room are necessary." “Regardless of whether it meets the criminal requirements, such as insult or defamation, it is not satisfied,” he explained.

Recently, the size of accounts receivable has been rapidly increasing, especially in the domestic construction industry. According to data from Nice Credit Rating, trade receivables of major domestic construction companies increased from KRW 18.4 trillion at the end of 2021 to KRW 33.8 trillion in the first half of this year. This is an 83.5% increase in just three years. The increase in receivables is not limited to the construction industry. Amid complex external variables such as economic recession, supply chain instability, and changes in the global situation, the risk of payment recovery is increasing across industries such as manufacturing, distribution, and service industries. From a corporate perspective, debt collection is an issue that goes beyond securing money through collection and is directly related to liquidity management, financial soundness, and even business continuity. If debt collection fails, the financial structure will be shaken and partners, subcontractors, and even financial institutions will be hit like dominoes. Therefore, debt collection should be understood as a management strategy for the survival of a company. The problem is that if collection is delayed or fails, even if it is recorded as an asset in the financial statements, no actual inflow of funds occurs, which has a negative impact on the overall cash flow of the company. When cash inflow is blocked, companies rely on short-term borrowing to make up for insufficient liquidity, which also increases interest costs. Increased costs hinder profitability and ultimately lead to worsening financial indicators, leading to a downgrade in credit rating. As a result, it can fall into a vicious cycle in which additional external financing becomes difficult. To solve this problem, it is necessary to initiate a debt collection process, but if the legal process is not followed, not only will it be subject to criminal punishment, but it can also cause fatal damage to the company's credibility and image. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to approach it in a due process and strategic manner within the legally permitted scope. It starts with the process of notifying the obligation to fulfill the debt through proof of contents, and then secures rights through a payment order application or civil lawsuit. If you win the lawsuit, you can attempt actual recovery through compulsory execution if necessary. If the debtor has already entered rehabilitation or bankruptcy proceedings, he or she must participate in dividend payments and exercise his or her rights. At the same time, it is necessary to strive for proactive risk prevention to reduce the risk of debt generation from the beginning. First, at the contract stage, it is a good idea to detail the payment deadline, late interest, and measures to be taken in the event of a dispute. If the transaction amount is large or the project is carried out over a long period of time, preparations must be made to organize advance payments, interim payments, and balances, distribute risks through prepayment, and minimize losses in the event of receivables. A company's survival ultimately comes from cash flow. And the first step to maintaining this trend is to thoroughly manage receivables without neglecting them. Receivables left unattended at this moment may return as a crisis tomorrow. In today's economic environment of prolonged uncertainty, stable asset management will soon become a decisive factor in determining the future of a company.

A man in his 50s who was put on trial for sexually assaulting a coworker who was asleep after taking sleeping pills was sentenced to prison. According to the legal community on the 13th, the 1st Criminal Division of the Eastern Branch of the Busan District Court sentenced Mr. A, in his 50s, to three years in prison on the 12th of last month on charges of quasi-rape. In addition, he was ordered to complete a 40-hour sexual violence treatment program and to be restricted from employment at child and youth-related institutions for three years. Mr. A was indicted on charges of adultery with Mr. B, a junior colleague at work, who fell asleep after taking sleeping pills on several occasions since 2021. After learning of Mr. A's crime, Mr. B forgave Mr. A several times, but as the same thing continued to happen again, he eventually filed a complaint with the investigative agency. Mr. A denied the charges, saying that Mr. B was not in a state of incapacity to resist and that they had entered into a relationship after agreement. At the same time, he claimed that there was a possibility that the complaint was false, saying that he continued to work with Mr. B even after the incident and had regular conversations with him. Although he was acquitted by the police and prosecutors, he appealed and the trial began. The court did not acknowledge Mr. A's claim. The court ruled, “If you look at the content of the conversation between Mr. A and Mr. B, you can only see the content that could have been exchanged as part of a business relationship, and there is nothing to judge that they maintained a romantic relationship. The probative value of the victim, B’s statement, cannot be rejected based solely on the fact that they worked together for a while after filing the complaint.” At the same time, it ruled, “Although Mr. B has protested several times, there is no evidence that they had a consensual relationship, so it can be said that Mr. A committed the crime after recognizing that Mr. B was asleep.” The court explained the reason for sentencing, saying, “We took into account the fact that Mr. A’s guilt was heavy as the crime occurred several times over two years, and that he did not seriously reflect on the crime.” Attorney Jang Eun-min of Daeryun Law Firm, who represented Mr. B, said, “It has been a long time. “Mr. B’s response may have been insufficient due to the fact that he was the victim of several sexual crimes by Mr. A, whom he knew, but the major parts of the statement were consistent and there were no contradictions, so since Mr. A was Mr. B’s boss, he had no choice but to maintain a close relationship for the sake of making a living, and the credibility of the statement was proven by proving the specific and overall context, such as the situation in which he asked for forgiveness after committing the crime.” Busan reporter Jeong Cheol-wook[View full article] A man in his 50s commits adultery with a co-worker who fell asleep after taking sleeping pills...

Sent to prosecution on charges of 'obstruction of business' by unauthorized deletion of customer information on tablet PC "There is a 'handover' clause in the confirmation letter... it is difficult to cite the victim's claim of ownership" The owner of a beauty salon who was handed over to the prosecution on charges of taking a tablet PC containing customer information of a nail shop located in the store was acquitted. The Uijeongbu District Prosecutors' Office reported on Mr. A, a 30-year-old beauty salon owner in his 30s, who was transferred on charges of damage to property and obstruction of business on the 18th of last month. A decision was made not to indict. Mr. A was accused of taking a tablet PC containing customer information of Mr. B, a nail shop manager who was in his hair salon, without permission and deleting the information in January. Mr. A denied the charge. It was claimed that the tablet PC in question was a public item and not Mr. B's personal property. They refuted that the reason customer information was deleted was because Mr. B opened a new nail shop near the beauty salon and used the existing business name. Mr. A said, “Mr. B was siphoning off our store’s customers to his new store and ignoring legitimate requests to correct the theft of the business name, so we were forced to delete the information.” The prosecution ruled that Mr. A was not guilty. The prosecution explained the reason for non-indictment by saying, “In the contract written by the two people, there is a clause that says, ‘All customer information managed at the end of the contract will be handed over to Mr. A.’” and “Considering that Mr. B was also aware of this clause, it is difficult to say that the deleted customer information belongs to Mr. B.” Attorney Heo Seong-guk of Daeryun, a law firm representing Mr. A, said, “For a crime of property damage to be established, there must be a perception that another person’s property is being infringed.” “Rather, we actively explained that it was Mr. B who violated the contractual confidentiality obligation,” he said.
