Delivery Driver's Sharp Instincts Foil Voice Phishing Scam Target

A delivery driver witnessed a situation suspected of being voice phishing.

By reporting it to the police, the driver prevented financial damage.

Let us look at the story together.

This incident occurred in Cheonan last March.

While making a delivery as usual, the driver reportedly spotted a suspicious scene through a window.

An elderly woman and a young man wearing a suit were interacting.

It appeared as though she was handing him a paper shopping bag.

Sensing that the man might be a voice phishing cash collector, the delivery driver subtly reversed and kept an eye on the situation.

Once the man boarded a taxi and left, the driver called 112 to report the incident, providing the taxi's license plate number and the direction it was heading.

Police spotted the man along his projected route.

Upon verification, he turned out to be a voice phishing cash collector.

Thanks to the delivery driver's quick judgment and report, 29.9 million won in cash handed over by the elderly woman was prevented from falling into the hands of the criminal organization.

The delivery driver emphasized that anyone can prevent crimes by paying a little closer attention to their surroundings.
