I have become involved in a voice phishing crime.. I started it simply as a part-time job, but it turned out to be the work of a voice phishing cash courier. Something felt off, but the company had a website and the staff explained things in great detail, so I did not think it could be true. However, a few days ago I was told to come in for a police investigation into the voice phishing crime. What should I do? Please tell me about the level of punishment for the voice phishing crime and how to respond..

If you are involved in a voice phishing crime as a cash courier, the crime of fraud under Article 347 of the Criminal Act may apply, and you may be subject to imprisonment for up to 10 years or a fine of up to 20 million won.
It is important to respond systematically from the early stage of the case, and you should first collect and organize all relevant materials, such as the content of work instructions, message records, and account transaction details.
It is important to record that there were suspicious points while performing the work, to avoid explaining more than necessary during the investigation, and to honestly answer that you do not know what you do not know.
In addition, factors that can reduce the level of punishment include that your participation in the voice phishing crime was passive or involved only dolus eventualis, that your participation was due to pressure or coercion, that the harm did not materialize, and that there was voluntary surrender or an effort to recover the victim's loss.
Organizing such materials and circumstances well is a great help in raising the possibility of a non-prosecution disposition or a mitigated disposition.
In other words, the most important response strategy is to secure relevant evidence from the early stage of the case, and to clearly record your role and whether you were aware of the crime.
For details related to the voice phishing crime, please confirm through a consultation with a criminal attorney.
