[Jangseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jo Hangyu] The Jangseong Police Station in Jeonnam (Chief Bae Seung-gwan) announced on the 20th that it visited the Bukil Police Substation and presented a letter of appreciation to an employee of B Nonghyup who contributed to preventing telephone financial fraud by impersonating A Capital to induce low-interest refinancing loans.

The B Nonghyup employee sensed something suspicious about the victim's action of withdrawing money and asked about the usage. Upon hearing that "to receive a 100 million KRW small business loan, the existing loan must be repaid," the employee immediately suspected a voice phishing crime, persuaded the victim, and reported it to the police, thereby preventing the voice phishing crime in advance.

Chief Bae Seung-gwan said, "I deeply appreciate the employee who made a great contribution to preventing telephone financial fraud through careful observation and attention to customers," and added, "I hope that we maintain an organic cooperative system with financial institutions and work together to eradicate telephone financial fraud."

Meanwhile, the Jangseong Police Station is operating an 'Intensive Publicity Period for Voice Phishing Damage Prevention' until June, conducting promotional activities such as distributing leaflets and broadcasting village announcements using disaster broadcasting equipment in the area, as well as promoting with large sculptures like Apple Top.
