CJ Logistics Presents Appreciation Letter to Delivery Worker Who Prevented Voice Phishing Scam

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] A letter of appreciation was presented for the courageous story of a CJ Logistics delivery driver who demonstrated a strong sense of reporting and prevented a voice phishing crime.

CJ Logistics announced on the 12th that it awarded a letter of appreciation to a delivery driver who witnessed a crime scene during delivery work and reported it to the police, thereby preventing voice phishing damage.

The CJ Logistics Delivery Win-Win Committee, a consultative body of delivery industry workers including delivery drivers, also presented a prize in recognition of the contribution to social safety.

Choi (42), who works as a CJ Logistics delivery driver in Gimhae City, Gyeongsangnam-do, noticed something unusual in front of a bank ATM while heading to a collection client after completing delivery work last month. Seeing a person moving around several ATMs within the branch withdrawing cash, Choi felt suspicious.

After buying something at a nearby convenience store for about five minutes and returning to the delivery vehicle, Choi spotted the same person continuously putting large amounts of cash bundles into a bag. Feeling something suspicious, Choi observed the situation for about 10 minutes and suspected a voice phishing scam, then reported it to 112. The suspect was arrested on the spot shortly after the police station arrived, preventing further financial damage.

Choi, who sensed something suspicious by seeing a large amount of cash envelopes in a bag, which is rarely seen, and the person moving between multiple machines, explained the situation: “I decided to report it because it seemed similar to a voice phishing arrest video I recently saw on YouTube.”

Choi said, “I have previously chased and caught a drunk hit-and-run taxi driver and caught a petty thief in the neighborhood,” and added, “Anyone in such a situation would have acted the same way.”

Shin Young-su, CEO of CJ Logistics Delivery & Commerce Division, said, “Delivery drivers repeatedly travel the same designated areas every day, so they play the role of guardians maintaining neighborhood security,” and added, “We will continue to support efforts to contribute to resident safety and crime prevention through win-win cooperation with local communities.”

Meanwhile, the CJ Logistics Delivery Win-Win Committee discovers and rewards exemplary workers in the delivery industry and carries out various activities for the welfare of delivery workers. In April, it awarded a prize to delivery driver Gil Hyun-cheol, who discovered a house fire in a mountainous area during delivery work and prevented casualties and a forest fire through prompt initial action.
