Gwangsan Police Conduct Crime Prevention Activities Before and After Seollal in Foreign Resident Areas

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] On the 27th, the Gwangsan Police Station in Gwangju promoted "foreign crime prevention and voice phishing precautions" to listeners at Wolgok-dong's 'Goryeo FM (Goryeo-in Village Radio)'.

Goryeo FM is a radio broadcast that provides comprehensive information including news about Korea, community, jobs, and medical news, as well as daily life of residents, targeting the Koryo-saram living in the Gwangju area.

During the promotional activity, they urged the eradication of recent increases in foreigner-related drunk driving, unlicensed driving, and failure to take action after traffic accidents. In particular, they emphasized that participating as a cash withdrawal agent in voice phishing scams, introduced as high-paying part-time jobs without suspicion, is strictly punishable as equivalent to fraud.

A Gwangsan Police Station official said, "We will continue promotional activities to ensure that foreigners do not unintentionally become involved in crimes and suffer damages."
