※ The punishment for the crime of fraud varies depending on the degree of deception and the extent of the property damage, and where the amount of damage reaches 500 million won or more, the offense is subject to aggravated punishment not under the crime of fraud but under the 'Act on Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes.'
