"Please Actively Report as 'Voice Phishing Guardians'" Appeal

The Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) has released the actual voices of voice phishing scammers.

On the 9th, the FSS announced that it analyzed 937 voice phishing cases reported in the first half of this year and disclosed the voices of 12 individuals who were reported more than five times.

Kim Ho-sam, head of the government joint investigation team on voice phishing crimes, is explaining the details of the crime at a briefing on the large-scale detection of a voice phishing organization linked to a massive fake bank account distribution network, held on the morning of July 13 at the Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office in Songpa-gu, Seoul.

Starting from 9 a.m. on the 10th, you can check them on the FSS website's 'Voice Phishing Guardian' site and the FSS official YouTube channel.

The FSS explained, "Based on the reported files, we produced and released a video that includes the scammers' main tactics and exemplary response cases from reporters. The reporters' voices have been altered and personal information muted, but the scammers' voices were exposed as they are."

Voice phishing scammers mainly impersonated prosecutors and emphasized that the call was for investigative purposes. They mentioned specific case details, used technical terms, or pressured victims by threatening to issue a summons, preventing them from hanging up.

They guided victims to isolated spaces to prevent them from receiving help from those around them and even led them to access fake prosecutor's office websites.

The FSS stated, "The voices of voice phishing scammers reported by the public are valuable materials for arresting criminals and prevention activities," and urged, "Please actively report to the 'Voice Phishing Guardian'."
