Jeju Police Operate Intensive Crackdown Period on Telephone Financial Fraud Crimes

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters (Jeju) Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] The Jeju Provincial Police Agency announced on the 30th that it will operate an intensive crackdown period from the 26th of last month until June 30th to eradicate telephone financial fraud crimes.

This crackdown was promoted as telephone financial fraud continued to occur amid the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, which has contracted the national economy.

In particular, since November of last year, the 'account transfer type,' which accounted for most of the telephone financial fraud methods, has decreased, while the 'face-to-face extortion type' has begun to surge.

The Jeju Police plan to focus on arresting criminals through organic cooperation between investigation and criminal departments to strengthen on-site investigation capabilities such as initial investigations, tracking, and inquiry investigations, in addition to the existing investigation method centered on account analysis.

The Jeju Police stated, "We will do our best to prevent the occurrence of crimes by strengthening publicity strategies to prevent telephone financial fraud damage."
