[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Wooseok] A man in his 20s who repeatedly committed fraud in secondhand transactions under the name of his 3-year-old son was arrested by the police.

The Daejeon Jungbu Police Station announced on the 5th that they had arrested a man in his 20s, identified as A, on charges of habitual fraud on internet secondhand transaction sites and sent him to the prosecution.

A is accused of posting ads to sell mobile phones, home appliances, and other items on 13 internet secondhand transaction sites for about a year starting from February last year, then disappearing after victims sent money.

He extorted a total of approximately 52 million won through 102 such fraudulent transactions. It was also found that he committed crimes even while under police investigation.

A, who had a prior record of similar crimes, created a bank account under the name of his 3-year-old son after his own account became difficult to use, and received money from victims into that account.
