Seocho Damages Attorney Assistance | Seocho Damages Attorney Wins Claim for Damages in a Romance Scam Case

This is the story of a client who requested assistance from a Seocho damages attorney.

The client met a man, through an app, who said he ran a business.

The man had much in common with the client, such as religious beliefs and professional background, and the client felt drawn to him and began a relationship.

A month later, the man asked the client to lend him money, saying he urgently needed it.

The client hesitated for a moment but agreed, believing the man’s claim that his business was doing well.

However, everything the man had told the client was a lie intended to defraud her of money.

Shocked by this, the client decided to file a 🔗claim for damages and requested assistance from a Seocho damages attorney.

The client wished to bring a claim for damages based on a tort.

The relevant statutes are as follows.

▶ Civil Act Article 750 (Definition of Tort)

▶ Civil Act Article 751 (Compensation for Loss Other Than Property)

▶ Civil Act Article 766 (Extinctive Prescription of the Right to Claim Damages)

For the purpose of defrauding the client of money, the defendant lied about all of his personal information, including his professional history, place of residence, and education.

The attorney emphasized that the defendant’s conduct in flaunting false information and pretending to have the ability to repay the money clearly constituted deception.

At the time the defendant demanded the money, the intended use he told the client about was entirely false.

The attorney also emphasized that the defendant had no intention or ability to repay from the outset.

When the client filed a criminal complaint against the defendant for fraud and other offenses, the defendant repaid part of the loaned money for the purpose of reducing his sentence.

This conduct by the defendant amounts to an acknowledgment that he has an obligation to repay the misappropriated amount.

However, because the defendant has paid none of the remaining amount or interest, the attorney emphasized that the claim sought the principal together with delay damages.

A claim for damages may be brought for loss arising from non-performance of an obligation, a tort, a medical act, an extramarital affair, and the like.

To proceed with such a claim, the occurrence of the loss must be proven through evidence and other materials, so proceeding with the litigation together with a professional can be advantageous.
