Jeju Police Agency Presents Appreciation Plaque to Bank Employees for Voice Phishing Prevention

[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] The Jeju Police Agency announced on the 11th that it presented plaques of appreciation to two financial institution employees who recently prevented telephone financial fraud incidents that could have occurred in the province.

Kim, a manager at Jeju Bank Ido Branch, who received the plaque, prevented a customer from withdrawing 20 million won on the 22nd of last month, thereby averting damage.

Heo, a clerk at Kookmin Bank Yeonbuk-ro Branch, recognized a voice phishing crime when a customer tried to withdraw 14 million won on the 2nd and reported it to 112.

Both recipients have been working at financial institutions and have shown great dedication by paying attention to preventing crimes that could occur to customers and actively responding to even the slightest suspicious parts.

A Jeju Police official said, “The Jeju Police Agency is making efforts to prevent telephone financial fraud damage,” and added, “We appreciate the active response from financial institutions as well.”

He continued, “If you receive a text message impersonating public institutions such as prosecutors or the Financial Supervisory Service, urging you to access a link, you should never click it. Also, if you are asked to deliver cash under the pretext of low-interest refinancing loans or government subsidies, it is 100% a scam.”
