1. How the Client Came to the Daejeon Voice Phishing Attorney
The client who came to the Daejeon voice phishing attorney had a dream of becoming a developer.
In the meantime, the client saw a post on a part-time job recruitment platform seeking someone who could perform 'coding' work, and immediately applied and even signed an employment contract with the company.
However, the work the client was assigned was receiving cash and taking a taxi to deliver it to another person.
Then, about three months later, the client was investigated by the police for voice phishing and was ultimately referred to the prosecution.
Because the client had even signed an employment contract and the company they reported to appeared respectable, they never imagined it was the work of a voice phishing delivery courier.
Above all, since the client had received compensation, it was difficult to deny the charge of acting as a delivery courier, so they came to the voice phishing attorney at 🔗Daeryun's Daejeon office to request assistance.
