Gwangju Bank, Meeting with Outstanding Employees for Voice Phishing Prevention

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Gwangju Bank (President Song Jong-wook) announced on the 9th that it held a meeting at its headquarters, inviting outstanding employees who prevented voice phishing.

This meeting was held to encourage employees who actively responded to prevent voice phishing damage with sincere dedication and interest in customers, and to raise awareness about voice phishing, which is evolving from simple fraud methods to sophisticated and organized intelligent crimes, by sharing excellent cases.

The 14 employees who attended the meeting unanimously agreed that voice phishing scammers, who approach victims using various methods, have recently been thoroughly preparing answers to bank employees' questions by pre-collecting withdrawal reasons and remitter information, and then requesting cash and check withdrawals, requiring special caution.

In particular, unlike before when the main targets of voice phishing were the elderly, housewives, and financially vulnerable groups who had difficulty dealing with first-tier financial institutions, recently the targets have expanded without limitation to include VIP customers and those with clear main banks, emphasizing the need to remain vigilant in preventing voice phishing.

Song Jong-wook, president of Gwangju Bank, said, “We are strengthening security functions and system advancements to protect financial consumers in order to prevent increasingly sophisticated voice phishing in advance. Let us take the lead in eradicating financial fraud, protect customers’ valuable assets, and do our best to become Gwangju Bank, which is more trusted by local residents and customers.”
