Gyeonggi Province signed a business agreement with eight organizations on the 24th at Seohui Hall in the Gyeonggi Provincial Government Office to strengthen support for the prevention of telecommunication financial fraud damage.

This agreement was initiated to establish an organic work system among the participating organizations and to enhance public awareness campaigns and educational initiatives for the prevention of telecommunication financial fraud, as well as to strengthen support for victims. This comes in response to the increasing number of victims due to the increasingly sophisticated methods of voice phishing crimes.

Under the agreement, the nine participating organizations, including Gyeonggi Province, will cooperate in various areas to strengthen the prevention of telecommunication financial fraud. These include: identifying the current status of damages and collecting case studies; promoting fraud prevention; implementing educational programs for vulnerable groups; training professionals to support fraud prevention; and providing content to support prevention efforts.

Ko Youngin, Deputy Governor of Economy of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "Voice phishing is no longer a matter of individual negligence, but a structural problem that society as a whole must address together. Today's agreement marks the beginning of a collaborative effort, connecting Gyeonggi Province's prevention initiatives, the police's rapid investigative capabilities, the financial sector's proactive blocking systems, the telecommunications companies' technological responses, and the specialized support of public institutions."

Meanwhile, Gyeonggi Province established a comprehensive plan for the prevention and support of telecommunication financial fraud victims (2025-2029) in April of this year, and plans to further intensify efforts to implement the tasks outlined in this plan following the agreement.

The comprehensive plan aims to raise social awareness about telecommunication financial fraud and focuses on strengthening preventive education, enhancing public awareness campaigns, improving the collection and response to fraud cases, and establishing collaborative systems with related organizations.
