Gumi Police Station Presents Certificates of Appreciation to Two Resourceful Bank Employees

Maintaining Close Cooperation with Financial Institutions
Building a Community Safe from Voice Phishing Crimes

The Gumi Police Station in North Gyeongsang Province, led by Chief Yoo Ojae, announced on April 23 that it had presented certificates of appreciation and rewards to two local bank employees who recently contributed to the prevention of voice phishing crimes.

The certificates of appreciation were presented to employees working at the Gumi branch of Woori Bank and the Gumi 4th Industrial Complex branch of iM Bank. These employees played a significant role in preventing damage by promptly detecting suspicious signs when customers attempted to withdraw large amounts of cash or apply for loans, and immediately reporting the situation to the police.

In particular, the employee at the Gumi branch of Woori Bank prevented a crime by calmly responding after confirming a conversation on a customer's mobile phone between a customer in their 40s and a voice phishing suspect impersonating an investigative agency. The customer had been deceived into increasing their account transfer limit and attempting to take out a credit loan.

Chief Yoo Ojae of the Gumi Police Station stated, "Sharp observation and swift action at the frontlines of financial services played an important role in protecting the valuable assets of citizens," and added, "We are deeply grateful to the bank employees for their resourcefulness in helping protect our citizens."

The police plan to continue maintaining close cooperation with local financial institutions and will do their utmost to create a safe local community that is protected from voice phishing crimes.
