I did not know I was a voice phishing courier. Will I be punished?

You have inquired about the level of criminal punishment for a voice phishing courier. During the police investigation, it appears difficult to avoid punishment merely by asserting that you did not know you were participating in a criminal act.

Under the Criminal Act, a voice phishing collector may be punished for the crime of fraud or for aiding and abetting fraud.

Even if you did not directly participate, once the charge of fraud is recognized, you may face imprisonment for not more than 10 years or a fine of not more than 20 million won .

In addition, even if you did not know that you were a voice phishing courier, you may be punished on the charge of aiding another person's crime, so please be sure to obtain legal advice from an expert before participating in the police investigation.

The larger the amount involved in such a crime of fraud, the heavier the sentence becomes. Because voice phishing is a crime that involves particularly large amounts of damage, the sentence is inevitably heavy even after sentencing considerations.

The sentencing standards must be assessed, and a strategic approach that builds a defense against punishment on that basis is necessary.

If you undergo a police investigation without any preparation, there are cases where you end up making statements that are unfavorable to yourself.

Therefore, we recommend that you request the assistance of an attorney handling voice phishing cases and prepare a thorough defense, and that you be accompanied by legal counsel from the police investigation stage onward.
