Voice phishing police investigation assistance case | Client not charged with voice phishing

The client posted her resume on a job search site to get a part-time job while living as a housewife.

Afterwards, I was contacted by Company A and put in charge of administrative work, and soon after, the job was changed to customer support work.

The client, who was carrying out the work without suspicion, met the customer in person and received and delivered the goods, but it was revealed that the job was actually a voice phishing messenger.

Accordingly, the client received a call from the police to undergo a voice phishing police investigation. Recognizing the importance of an early response in a situation involving a serious criminal case, the client urgently requested assistance from a lawyer.

First, the lawyer collected KakaoTalk conversations and work instructions with Company A employees as evidence to prove that the client did not know that the job was responsible for delivering voice phishing.

After carefully analyzing the conversations and data obtained, we confirmed that the client had no knowledge of or involvement in the organization's criminal structure or financial flow other than the delivery work.

Therefore, it was emphasized that there is no data to conclude that the client in this case talked about the crime of telecommunications financial fraud with a member of a voice phishing organization.

Second, the lawyer reviewed account details and salary details to prove that the client was also a victim of voice phishing.

If the client had conspired to commit a voice phishing crime, he should have received a large amount of money, but we confirmed that the amount the client actually received was only an extremely small amount, less than 100,000 won per day.

Through this, it was emphasized that the client did not collude in the crime, but simply performed the work as a part-time job.

Lastly, the lawyer emphasized that the client actively asked questions and confirmed questions that arose during the course of the work.

Accordingly, the client emphasized that in the first case, he performed the work as instructed, but after suspicion arose, he immediately notified him that he would stop working.

Through this, we proved that the client did not voluntarily participate in the crime.

The charge of the client who requested assistance ahead of the voice phishing police investigation was violation of the Special Act on Prevention of Damage from Telecommunications and Financial Fraud and Refund of Damages.
