[Wonju Fraud Attorney Acquittal Case] Wonju Fraud Attorney Obtains Acquittal in a Voice Phishing Case

The matters that the Wonju fraud attorney directly discussed are as follows. Before starting at the company, the client applied for a job paying 80,000 won per day on a job-listing site,

and this was the work of a cash courier for a voice phishing organization. After performing cash courier work for 5 months, the client eventually received contact from the police and, facing the risk of having the employment offer canceled, came to the Wonju fraud attorney for a consultation.

The Wonju fraud attorney focused on how often and in what amounts the client delivered money, and the client delivered a total amount of more than 100 million won, more than 10 times, and over a period of more than 3 months, and there were 5 or more victims.

In this case, the client needed to receive an acquittal or a sentence no heavier than a fine in order to start at the company as planned.

After the consultation, the Wonju fraud attorney stated that the attorney would do the utmost to assist toward the desired result.

The Wonju fraud attorney explains voice phishing organizations.

A voice phishing organization operates in a highly compartmentalized cell structure to guard against arrest, with each member performing an assigned role: the ‘head’, who oversees the entire crime and handles the coordinated communication among the internal cell units; the ‘manager’, who receives the head's instructions, manages the internal members, and trains and directs them on deception methods and cash collection methods;

the ‘lure team / call center’, who calls an unspecified number of victims, impersonates government agencies, financial institutions, and the like, and tells lies to deceive the victims;

the ‘cash withdrawal team / cash collection team’, who withdraws the victim funds deposited into accounts and delivers them, or meets the victims directly and collects the money;

and the ‘recruitment team’, who recruits the burner bank accounts and members to be used in the crime.

Here, the client received an offer from a voice phishing organization member of unknown name and took on the ‘cash collection team’ role.

The Wonju fraud attorney explained that, in the case of a cash courier, there have been instances of acquittal in various precedents, so the client could well be acquitted.

As a cash courier, the client had no ‘intent’, and the client provided and reported to the investigative agency all of the information about the other member who had proposed this work and other related information about the voice phishing organization.

In this way, the attorney presented a defense arguing that the client was a ‘victim’ with no connection whatsoever to this organization.

The Wonju fraud attorney argued that the client had absolutely no intent to commit this criminal act. The client had verified whether the employment contract was genuine, verified the company information, and verified the address as well,

and likely could not have anticipated, having done the utmost to verify the genuineness of the recruitment, including whether such work actually existed, that the client would become involved in a voice phishing crime organization as a cash courier.

The attorney represented this client's position and set it out in the written opinion.

The Wonju fraud attorney argued the client's current situation. The client is currently set to start a full-time position after a long job search, and if an actual prison sentence heavier than a fine is imposed, the employment will be canceled.

The monetary income that the client actually obtained from this part-time work was about 1 million won, and it would be difficult to find that the client would give up a full-time position and take part in a crime in order to defraud an amount of this size.

The Wonju fraud attorney stated that, even if a person takes part in a voice phishing fraud crime and becomes a suspect, an acquittal may be obtained through sufficient consultation and case review and by mounting a defense.

In the client's case as well, even though a substantial set of acts involving more than 10 times and more than 100 million won had taken place, an acquittal was obtained with the assistance of the attorney.
