I was told to attend a voice phishing police investigation — what should I do?

Hello. This is the criminal specialist attorney from Daeryun Law Firm.

While I cannot know the entire situation of the questioner who is facing a voice phishing police investigation, based on what you described, it appears that you played the role of a cash collector for voice phishing.

The voice phishing cash collector may be charged with fraud or aiding fraud.

In addition, since you printed and delivered documents, the crimes of forgery of private documents and use of forged private documents may also be recognized.

Fraud is a crime punishable by imprisonment of up to 10 years or a fine of up to 20 million won, and forgery of private documents is a crime punishable by imprisonment of up to 5 years or a fine of up to 10 million won.

Simply not knowing it was a voice phishing organization does not mean you can escape the charges.

Supreme Court Decision 2024Do13466 reversed the lower court's judgment of acquittal for a voice phishing cash collector and remanded the case to the Daejeon District Court, holding that even without specifically recognizing the method or content of the crime, the cash collector can be punished as a co-principal in fraud.

Therefore, you must immediately seek help from a criminal specialist attorney to prepare a response strategy.

The criminal specialist attorney provides not only accompaniment to the voice phishing police investigation but also the following assistance.

▶Establishing a strategy to deny intent
▶Collecting valid evidence with evidence investigation experts
▶Representing settlement with victims and advising on the criminal deposit system
▶Pre-simulation of the voice phishing police investigation

If you are facing a voice phishing police investigation, please request a consultation as soon as possible.
