1. The Client Who Sought a Seocho Criminal Attorney
The client was suspected of violating the Special Act on Telecommunications-based Financial Fraud.
The client explained that, to defend against punishment, they sought a criminal attorney with extensive experience handling criminal cases in Seocho-gu.
The attorney set out to understand the case in order to defend against the client's punishment, and the details were as follows.
The client decided to take a part-time job to cover university tuition.
The client found a job posting for an office part-time position with high pay and applied.
A reply came from the person who had posted it, who explained that the company was a place that converted the loans of customers using high-interest loans into low-interest ones.
After negotiating pay, the client began the part-time work. The supervisor would tell the client a certain location, and the client would go there, confirm the customer who had been identified in advance, receive cash, and deliver it to a company employee.
As it turned out, this company was a telecommunications-based financial fraud, that is, a voice phishing organization, and when the organization's crimes were uncovered, it came to light that the client had acted as a cash collector, leading to this case.
Accordingly, the client was at risk of criminal punishment on suspicion of violating the Special Act on Telecommunications-based Financial Fraud.
