[Jangseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jo Hangyu] Jangseong-gun, Jeonnam announced on the 15th that it will conduct a comprehensive crackdown until the 31st to prevent the illegal distribution of Jangseong Love Gift Certificates.

The main targets of the crackdown are acts such as merchants receiving or exchanging gift certificates without providing goods or services, receiving or exchanging gift certificates exceeding the actual sales amount, refusing gift certificate payments or demanding additional charges, and merchants purchasing or exchanging gift certificates under another person's name.

If caught using gift certificates illegally, a fine of up to 20 million KRW may be imposed.

Additionally, if an investigation into violations is refused or obstructed, a fine of up to 5 million KRW may be imposed.

The county plans to verify illegal distribution by conducting preliminary analysis and on-site visits based on the exchange details per merchant in the integrated gift certificate management system and reports from residents.

Depending on the severity of the case, additional measures such as requesting police investigations will also be implemented if necessary.

A county official said, "We plan to intensively promote compliance guidelines to gift certificate merchants and users," adding, "We hope this crackdown will raise awareness about illegal use of gift certificates and establish a sound distribution order."
