Gwangju Nambu Police Station (Chief Song Seho) announced on the 20th that it has launched special security activities to prevent voice phishing crimes during the Lunar New Year holiday.

According to an analysis of 112 emergency call reports during last year's Lunar New Year, voice phishing crimes targeting residents surged.

To prevent this, Nambu Police Station, along with Baegun District Police Station (Chief Lim Dongseop), Juwol Police Substation, and seven senior community centers in the area, is conducting activities to prevent phishing crimes targeting the elderly.

During the special security activities, the police provided information on types of phishing crimes targeting seniors, how to report them, and practical crime prevention measures.

A representative from Nambu Police Station said, "We plan to continue promoting the latest phishing types and reporting methods by holding meetings with branch managers at each financial institution and providing ongoing education to bank employees."
