"Eighty Don of Gold Bought by My Husband": Scammer Caught After Visiting the Same Owner Twice

A woman came into a jewelry store.

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

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

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

A woman wearing a gray hat requested gold bars, claiming that her husband was buying them for her birthday.

She then bought 30 don of pure gold, saying her husband had transferred the payment to the account.

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, once again claiming 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 man who deposited the money the previous day were different, the owner reported her to the police.

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

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

The jewelry store owner's quick wit is truly amazing.
