[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-seop] Moa Savings Bank announced on the 19th that it received a letter of appreciation from the Incheon Michuhol Police Station for preventing a voice phishing incident involving approximately 40 million KRW.

According to Moa Savings Bank, on the 11th, a senior staff member working at a branch on-site stopped a customer in their 60s from canceling a fixed deposit worth about 40 million KRW and requesting the full amount in cash. The employee detected voice phishing when the customer hesitated while filling out some sections during the high-value cash withdrawal request.

Kim Sung-do, CEO of Moa Savings Bank, said, “I am pleased that our employee did not miss even the smallest clue and made a swift judgment to protect the customer's valuable assets,” adding, “We will continue to make greater efforts to eradicate voice phishing scams.”
