The client wished to file a complaint for marriage fraud against a former girlfriend who had cut off contact with him and abruptly married another person.

Seoul Fraud Attorney-Marriage Fraud

Background of the Client's Case

The background of the client's case, as understood by the attorney, is as follows.

The client had a girlfriend with whom he was in a relationship on the premise of marriage.

At a certain point, the girlfriend stopped meeting the client, saying she was busy, while borrowing money from him.

Despite her continued requests for money, the client lent it to her because he trusted her as the person he was going to marry.

However, the girlfriend cut off contact and abruptly betrayed the client, saying she was pregnant by another man and was going to marry him.

In the end, the client became a victim of marriage fraud, deceived by the girlfriend and defrauded of tens of millions of won, and he came to the attorney to file a complaint.

Legal Information Regarding Marriage Fraud

The attorney's client was a victim of a typical case of "marriage fraud."

Marriage fraud refers to a method of fraud in which the offender deceives the other party as if intending to marry and extracts money from them.

Put simply, it is an offense in which the offender instills hope and trust in the other party by invoking marriage, and then extracts money on that basis.

How to Respond to Marriage Fraud

If you have suffered harm from marriage fraud, you may file a criminal complaint against the other party for fraud under the Criminal Act.

🔗Fraud is a property offense in which a person deceives another to receive property or obtain a financial benefit, and if the offense is established, it may be punished by up to 10 years of imprisonment or a fine of up to 20 million won.

In order to file a complaint against the other party for fraud and have them punished, it must be shown that the other party engaged in a "deceptive act."

A mere assertion may not be sufficient, and it is necessary to gather objective evidence and prove the matter adequately.

The content of messages, bank account records that can prove monetary transactions, and testimony from people around the parties may serve as effective evidence.

However, such evidence must be gathered lawfully, so receiving the help of a fraud attorney in this process can be a wise choice.

2. Assistance Provided by the Seoul Fraud Attorney in Responding to the Marriage Fraud

The attorney formed a response team of attorneys with experience in representing fraud complaints.

The team then examined the background of the marriage fraud case in detail and set out to gather evidence that could prove the other party's deceptive act.

Submission of Messenger Content Containing the Accused's Deceptive Act

The attorney analyzed two years of conversation records exchanged between the client and the accused.

By submitting these, the attorney was able to prove that the accused had deceived the client even though she had no intention of marrying the client or of being in a relationship on the premise of marriage.

The Client Suffered Enormous Loss Due to the Accused's Fraudulent Act

Deceived by the accused, the client lent her amounts reaching tens of millions of won over dozens of occasions.

The money lent has still not been recovered, and the client is suffering considerable financial loss from loan interest and the like.

The client also explained that, upon realizing he had been deceived by someone he had genuinely loved, he was suffering severe mental distress.

3. Result of the Seoul Fraud Attorney's Assistance, Successful Punishment

As a result of the attorney representing the client's complaint for marriage fraud, the court recognized the fraud and imposed a suspended sentence of two years.
