Pulling out a black envelope and changing clothes on the move... Arrested at Iksan Station

Today's final story is also related to voice phishing crimes.

This is a residential area in Seo-gu, Daejeon, last May.

A woman wearing a deeply pulled-down hat takes a black envelope out of a mailbox, puts it in her bag, and calmly walks away.

Inside the envelope was 10 million won in cash placed by a voice phishing victim according to the organization's instructions.

It was revealed that a woman in her 20s of Chinese nationality, surnamed A, entered the country on a tourist visa last March and, receiving instructions via Telegram, delivered a total of 150 million won worth of damage funds to the organization across 7 instances.

To evade police tracking, A used transportation cards only once or twice before replacing them, and paid for all expenses, including accommodation, in cash.

It was also investigated that she meticulously erased her traces by staying at accommodations for only one day at a time and throwing away all the clothes she wore the previous day.

Following about two months of relentless pursuit, police urgently arrested A in last June as she was about to board a train at Iksan Station in Jeollabuk-do.

At that time, A was also on her way to the next crime location carrying foreign currency and cash collected from a victim.

Police are expanding their investigation to higher-ups in the voice phishing organization that ordered the crimes.
