According to the Yeongam Police on April 25, at around 2 p.m. on April 10, an employee became suspicious when a victim who had been deceived by a phishing organization visited the bank to transfer 6 million won in cash. The employee promptly reported the situation to the police, which contributed to preventing the damage.

In addition, as phishing crime techniques continue to evolve, the Yeongam Police Station plans to strengthen its cooperative system against voice phishing by holding meetings with financial institutions, establishing a protocol for reporting to 112 as a principle, and monitoring customers who withdraw large sums (including checks of 5 million won or more) at bank counters.

Chief Yang Jeonghwan expressed his gratitude and urged, "The police and financial institutions must work together to prevent voice phishing, and if you notice any suspicious behavior from bank customers in the future, do not hesitate to report it to 112."
