The Daejeon voice phishing specialist attorney argued that, although it was true the client had acted as a voice phishing delivery courier, the client was only 19 years old and had just begun life in society. For this reason, it could not be concluded that the client's conduct was intended to aid and abet the fraud committed by members of the voice phishing organization.

The Daejeon voice phishing specialist attorney argued that the money the client received for performing the role of a voice phishing delivery courier was not an excessive amount, as it included taxi fares, meal expenses, and the like.

Like the client above, those who act as voice phishing delivery couriers often become involved believing it is merely a part-time job.

However, because harm caused by voice phishing has recently been increasing sharply, one must be mindful that punishment is also being imposed strictly.

If you have been unfairly subjected to a police investigation after acting as a voice phishing delivery courier, it is recommended that you promptly retain a specialist attorney to handle the case.
