50-Year-Old Sentenced for "Big Company Job Bait" Scam

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Ju Cheol-in] A man in his 50s who deceived a victim by promising to get his son a job at a large corporation and embezzled tens of millions of won was sentenced to prison.

On the 10th, Hwang Bo-seung-hyeok, Chief Judge of Criminal Division 6 at Ulsan District Court, announced that A (50), who was tried on charges of fraud, was sentenced to six months in prison.

In April 2017, A approached the director of a vocational school attended by his child, knowing that the director was worried about his child's employment, and deceived him by saying, "I will get your child a job at a large corporation, so please give me money to deliver to company executives," and embezzled 34 million won in cash and gift certificates.

The court stated the sentencing reasons, saying, "Considering that the defendant committed the same crime several times and was punished including imprisonment, and that no compensation or settlement with the victim has been made."
