Hampyeong County Conducts Comprehensive Crackdown on Fraudulent Distribution of Hampyeong Love Gift Certificates

[Hampyeong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Jeonnam Hampyeong-gun announced on the 19th that it will conduct a comprehensive crackdown on Hampyeong Sarang Gift Certificates in accordance with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's plan for a nationwide crackdown to prevent the occurrence of fraudulent distribution of local gift certificates until the 31st.

This is due to concerns about the occurrence of fraudulent distribution as the issuance scale of Hampyeong Sarang Gift Certificates has expanded and a 10% discount sale has continued to revitalize the local economy, which has been stagnant due to COVID-19.

The county will focus on investigating acts such as receiving gift certificates without selling goods or providing services, receiving gift certificates through transactions exceeding the actual sales amount, acting as an agent for exchanging gift certificates fraudulently received by individual franchise stores, and franchise owners continuously purchasing gift certificates under another person's name and then exchanging them, based on suspicious fraudulent distribution data analyzed through the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation's integrated gift certificate management system.

If fraudulent distribution is confirmed, strong measures will be taken according to regulations, such as canceling franchise registration, recovering the amount of fraudulent distribution, and imposing fines of up to 20 million won.

A county official said, "We will thoroughly crack down on fraudulent distribution of local gift certificates so that the purpose of operating Hampyeong Sarang Gift Certificates is not compromised and can circulate in a virtuous cycle to revitalize the local economy."
