34 Reports of 'Yososu Sales Fraud' Received... "Follow Prevention Guidelines to Avoid Damage"

Police Designate Responsible Investigation Agencies for Focused Investigation

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] As cyber scams targeting the "AdBlue shortage crisis" are on the rise, the police have issued a special warning.

The Cyber Crime Investigation Division of the National Police Agency announced on the 8th, "Recently, 34 cases of scams related to the sale of AdBlue, exploiting the shortage situation, have been reported through the Cyber Crime Reporting System (ECRM)."

The police plan to strictly crack down by designating responsible investigative agencies to focus on AdBlue scam cases, and for high-value cases, investigations will be conducted by the Cyber Crime Investigation Units of each metropolitan and provincial police agency.

To prevent cyber scam damage, the police advised ▲to be cautious of products priced excessively lower than market value ▲to check through the National Police Agency's 'CyberCop' app whether the seller's phone number or account number has any prior reports before making a transaction ▲to meet in person for transactions whenever possible or use secure payment services.

A police official emphasized, "If you become a victim of a cyber scam, please report it through the Cyber Crime Reporting System or visit the nearest police station to file a report."
