Gwangju Gwangsan Police Station Holds 'Voice Phishing Prevention Meeting'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] On the 28th, the Suwan District Unit of the Gwangsan Police Station in Gwangju visited local financial institutions to actively request 112 emergency calls when large amounts of cash are withdrawn.

The police emphasized the important role of bank teller staff in prevention and detection, as recent telephone financial fraud methods have rapidly shifted from 'account transfer type' to 'face-to-face extortion type,' and carried out prevention activities to encourage prompt reporting.

In response, a financial institution official said, "It was very helpful that the police officers directly informed us about crime cases and major methods," and added, "From now on, if voice phishing crimes are suspected when withdrawing more than 5 million won in cash, we will immediately report to 112 and the Suwan District Unit."
