Have you ever got a call such a voice phishing ?

I’ve got many callings from post office

sometimes sound like a mechanical recording voice or telemarketer

the caller usually said that my credit card has been returned so they need my personal I.d number or bank account

Many korean  think  that many Korean-Chinese make voice phishing calling

And i also …

But all the callers were Seoulites, just like my next-door neighbors. I did not doubt them because they sound like real post office officials, policemen and financial regulator

In foreign countries, voice fishing is typically used to steal credit card numbers or other private financial information for identity theft schemes.

But in Korea, most voice phishers try to dupe unsuspecting people into sending their money to criminals. Although most such scams fail, they sometimes succeed.

According to the Anti-Corruption & Civil Rights Commission, a total of 77,177 cases of voice phishing were reported last year, with the damage reaching 2.2 billion won.

Voice fishing even cost a life. Late last month, a female university student in Gimhae, South Gyeongsang Province, committed suicide after transferring about 6.4 million won to a voice phisher.
