According to the Police Agency, although the total number of telephone financial fraud cases from January to June this year decreased by 31.2% compared to the same period last year, the number of 'institution impersonation' telephone financial fraud cases increased by 19.2%.

Emart24 stated that it partnered with the Gyeonggi Northern Provincial Police Agency to carry out the campaign in order to prevent voice phishing fraud, which is increasing and evolving with various methods every year. Through this telephone financial fraud prevention campaign, a notice stating "Police, prosecutors, and other government agencies do not request personal information" will be displayed on the checkout counter screens installed in over 6,600 Emart24 stores nationwide.

Emart24 plans to continuously expose the campaign image through the checkout counter monitors to raise customers' awareness of voice phishing.

An Emart24 representative said, "We hope this campaign conducted at Emart24 stores nationwide will help prevent voice phishing fraud," and added, "Going forward, Emart24 will continue to expand its social role and public functions based on its accessibility as the distribution channel closest to customers."
