Daejeon Law Office Case | A Romance Scam Victim, Digital Forensics Assistance

The account of the client who sought a Daejeon attorney and requested assistance is as follows.

The client got to know a person identified as A through Telegram and grew close quickly while exchanging everyday conversation.

A told the client that A was earning large profits from an online shopping mall that A operated, and recommended that the client operate a shopping mall.

Believing the claim that large sums of money could be earned, the client accessed the site shared by A and proceeded to register an online shopping mall.

The shopping mall demanded that the client deposit a security amount and a liability amount, and the client remitted the entire amount.

Afterward, however, A and the shopping mall blocked all of the client's contact attempts and disappeared, so the client decided to file a complaint against A.

The client sought the Daejeon law office in order to systematically secure evidence through the Daejeon law office's 🔗digital forensics assistance.

① Approaching the victim through social network service (SNS) apps and the like

② Building a romantic relationship

③ Asking for a simple purchasing errand and inducing access to a shopping mall

④ Introducing a team mission in which several people place orders and then inviting the victim to a related chat room

▶ Once the victim places an order, the money is taken and the shopping mall and chat room are shut down.
