Daegu Voice Phishing Attorney | Acquittal Despite the Prosecutor's Appeal for a Voice Phishing Cash Collector

While browsing a part-time job recruitment site, the client saw a company's posting recruiting part-time workers, made contact, and was hired.

At that time, the COVID-19 epidemic was spreading, so the interview was conducted by phone without an in-person meeting, and the client explained that they did not notice anything particularly unusual.

The client explained that they started work and, following a superior's instructions, moved to a designated location, received money from a person who approached them, and delivered a document given by the superior to that person.

It later turned out that the company where the client had worked as a part-time worker was a voice phishing organization, the money the client received was the proceeds of the crime, and the document the client delivered to the victim was a false document impersonating the Financial Services Commission.

Accordingly, the client was indicted on charges of fraud, forgery of an official document, and uttering of a forged official document.

The client was acquitted by proving that there was no intent.

However, the prosecutor in this case appealed the client's case, so the client again sought a Daegu voice phishing attorney.

Because the client worked as a cash collector for a 🔗voice phishing organization, the client was charged with the crime of fraud.

The crime of fraud refers to the offense of deceiving a person to receive the delivery of property or to obtain a pecuniary benefit, and the charge of fraud also applies where, by deceiving a person, a third party is made to receive the delivery of property.

If the crime of fraud was established, the client could be punished by imprisonment for not more than ten years or a fine of not more than twenty million won.

The client also uttered a document forging the Financial Services Commission document received from the voice phishing organization.

In the crime of 🔗document forgery and uttering of a forged official document, an official document refers to a document of a public official or public office, and the offense is committed when such a document is forged and the forged document is uttered.

If this charge were recognized, the client could be punished by imprisonment for not more than ten years, with no option of a fine.
