1. The Client Who Sought a Daegu Voice Phishing Attorney
The client had been unfairly charged with acting as a voice phishing cash collector.
With an attorney's assistance, the client had been acquitted at the first-instance trial.
However, the prosecutor then appealed, claiming that the client was guilty, and the client, again placed at risk of punishment, retained the firm for the case once more.
The Details of the Client's Case
While browsing a part-time job recruitment site, the client saw a company's posting recruiting part-time workers, made contact, and was hired.
At that time, the COVID-19 epidemic was spreading, so the interview was conducted by phone without an in-person meeting, and the client explained that they did not notice anything particularly unusual.
The client explained that they started work and, following a superior's instructions, moved to a designated location, received money from a person who approached them, and delivered a document given by the superior to that person.
It later turned out that the company where the client had worked as a part-time worker was a voice phishing organization, the money the client received was the proceeds of the crime, and the document the client delivered to the victim was a false document impersonating the Financial Services Commission.
Accordingly, the client was indicted on charges of fraud, forgery of an official document, and uttering of a forged official document.
The client was acquitted by proving that there was no intent.
However, the prosecutor in this case appealed the client's case, so the client again sought a Daegu voice phishing attorney.
2. The Daegu Voice Phishing Attorney Client's Charges
The client worked as a cash collector for a voice phishing organization and even uttered a forged official document, and was therefore charged with fraud, forgery of an official document, and uttering of a forged official document. We will examine each charge in detail.
The Client's “Crime of Fraud”
Because the client worked as a cash collector for a 🔗voice phishing organization, the client was charged with the crime of fraud.
The crime of fraud refers to the offense of deceiving a person to receive the delivery of property or to obtain a pecuniary benefit, and the charge of fraud also applies where, by deceiving a person, a third party is made to receive the delivery of property.
If the crime of fraud was established, the client could be punished by imprisonment for not more than ten years or a fine of not more than twenty million won.
The Client's “Crime of Uttering a Forged Official Document”
The client also uttered a document forging the Financial Services Commission document received from the voice phishing organization.
In the crime of 🔗document forgery and uttering of a forged official document, an official document refers to a document of a public official or public office, and the offense is committed when such a document is forged and the forged document is uttered.
If this charge were recognized, the client could be punished by imprisonment for not more than ten years, with no option of a fine.
3. The Defense Against the Prosecutor's Appeal Undertaken by the Daegu Voice Phishing Attorney
To defend against the prosecutor's appeal in the client's case, the Daegu voice phishing attorney emphasized the following points.
Because the client did not know that the conduct in this case was unlawful, the client did not try to hide their traces during the conduct in this case.
The client had little social experience and was unaware of voice phishing activity, which is how they became involved in this case.
The client is resolved to commit no unlawful act in the future and to live as a diligent member of society.
4. The Result of the Appeal Defense Undertaken by the Daegu Voice Phishing Attorney
After reviewing the matter, the court issued a judgment of “The prosecutor's appeal is dismissed.”
The prosecutor had appealed the charges against the client, again placing the client at risk of an actual custodial sentence, but with the assistance of the Daegu voice phishing attorney, the acquittal could be upheld.
A voice phishing cash collector may also be severely punished for the crime of fraud, and the crime of uttering a forged official document carries a higher level of punishment than the crime of uttering a forged private document.
Responding early can therefore lead to a favorable outcome. If you are in a situation like that of the client in this case, you may receive an 🔗attorney referral to respond.
