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

[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] The Jeju Police Agency announced on the 7th that it recently presented a plaque of appreciation to a financial institution employee who prevented a telephone financial fraud incident.

The plaque recipient, Manager Lee from NongHyup Bank Jeju Branch, sensed something unusual on the 25th of last month when a customer tried to issue a certificate to receive a loan from another financial institution. After identifying the specific situation from the customer, he stopped the certificate issuance process and persuaded the customer that they were being scammed by explaining recent telephone financial fraud cases.

The recipient has shown great dedication by paying attention to preventing potential criminal damage 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."

He continued, "Recently, there have been many cases of impersonating public institutions and inducing people to access links via text messages," and added, "Before the Chuseok holiday, if you receive smishing texts disguised as delivery companies, you should never click on the internet address (URL) included in the message."
