"My Husband Bought Me 80 Don of Gold"... Caught by Same Store Owner After Wire Transfer

A woman came into a jewelry store.

She said her husband was going to buy her 80 don of pure gold as a birthday gift.

It turned out she was a voice phishing cash collector, and she was caught by an incredible coincidence.

This happened at a jewelry store in Sejong City on July 29.

The woman, wearing a gray hat, asked for gold bars, claiming her husband was buying her gold as a birthday present.

She then took away 30 don of pure gold, saying her husband had wired the purchase money.

The very next day, at another jewelry store in the same Sejong area, the woman showed up again.

This time, she tried to purchase 50 don of pure gold, claiming again that her husband was buying it for her.

As it happened, both jewelry stores were operated by the same owner.

Suspicious because the name and account number of the husband who transferred the money differed from the previous day, the owner suspected voice phishing and reported it to the police.

Police investigations confirmed that the woman was indeed a voice phishing cash collector.

It was revealed that she had collected and delivered gold or cash worth 120 million won this year.

The jewelry store owner's quick wits are truly amazing.
