"9 out of 10 Used Goods Fraud Cases Occur in Courier Transactions"

Danggeun Market, Secondhand Transaction Data Released

Danggeun Market announced on the 10th that over 87% of fraud cases in secondhand transactions occurred in non-face-to-face parcel delivery trades. Nearly 9 out of 10 cases happened in non-face-to-face settings. Danggeun Market emphasized that the key to preventing fraud is face-to-face direct transactions.

This survey analyzed all reported cases for which the police requested cooperation from Danggeun Market over a four-month period from March to June. The most common type of non-face-to-face fraud involved inducing advance payments by claiming to conduct parcel delivery transactions but then not sending the goods. Additionally, department store gift certificates and mobile gifticons were major targets. There were also methods that lure users to fake secure payment pages created fraudulently to demand remittances.

Danggeun Market, in announcing the results of this survey, stressed the importance of face-to-face direct transactions in peer-to-peer trading. By gradually narrowing the geographic scope of secondhand transactions, they connect trustworthy local residents and continue to encourage a culture of face-to-face direct transactions where users meet in person. To this end, when the word 'parcel delivery' or an address is shared in the transaction chat room, a message saying, 'We recommend direct transactions over parcel delivery. When doing direct transactions, public places that are easy for anyone to find and safe are best,' along with transaction guidelines, is automatically sent.

At the same time, efforts to strengthen user protection and safety in non-face-to-face transaction situations will be pursued from multiple angles. Danggeun Market plans to introduce a 'Safe Payment' feature through Danggeun Pay within the year. They will also enhance pre-monitoring and user caution guidance to respond to online gift certificate transaction frauds exploited in non-face-to-face scams, and focus on advancing technology to filter problematic posts.

A Danggeun Market representative said, "We will take thorough measures to prevent incidents and accidents that may occur in various transaction situations and to create a trustworthy trading environment that protects users," adding, "As a company leading a healthy peer-to-peer trading culture, we will continue to advance technical and institutional measures to protect users."
