On May 20th, Mr. Han, an employee at the Geochang branch of Shinhan Bank, noticed a victim who had been deceived by a voice phishing criminal attempting to transfer cash at the bank counter. Finding the situation suspicious, he immediately intervened and reported it to 112, thereby preventing the crime.

He said, "Since I work at a bank, I have a keen interest in preventing voice phishing crimes, perhaps more than anyone else. I am always on the lookout for customers who show suspicious behavior because I worry that someone might fall victim. I only did what I was supposed to do, so I am honored to receive this award. I believe that with just a little bit of attention from us, voice phishing crimes can be prevented."

Recently, Geochang Police Station has been actively engaging in promotional activities to prevent telephone financial scams (voice phishing) in cooperation with local financial institutions and government offices.
