[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] The Gangdong Police Station in Seoul announced on the 30th that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on voice phishing prevention with the Gangdong Regional Association of the Seoul Taxi Transportation Business Cooperative.

Through this MOU, Gangdong Police Station provided 4,000 voice phishing prevention promotional materials to 17 taxi companies and plans to share cases of victimization.

The Gangdong Regional Association plans to attach voice phishing prevention promotional materials to the back of the front seats of taxis so that passengers can easily see them. Additionally, if a passenger appears anxious while making phone calls or sending texts, or frequently changes their destination, they are likely to be a victim of voice phishing or involved as a cash collector or other criminal participant, so the police will be notified immediately.

Earlier, on the 7th, Gangdong Police Station attached voice phishing prevention promotional materials to 43 buses belonging to local village bus companies Gangdong Transportation and Shinmyeong Transport, and on the 15th, to 370 taxis belonging to the Gangdong branch of the National Model Drivers Association. As of the 29th, a total of about 1,600 taxis and buses, including 1,266 taxis belonging to the Gangdong Regional Association of the Taxi Transportation Cooperative, are participating in voice phishing prevention activities.
