○ [News Story] "I'll Mutilate Your Child": The Son Who Was Sobbing on the Phone… It Turned Out to Be a Scam (June 6, 2026)

As crackdowns on voice phishing intensify, new types of phishing crimes, such as fraudulent side-hustle job offers and "no-show" order scams, are spreading rapidly. In fact, the total damage from these new types of phishing crimes in the first quarter of this year has surpassed that of traditional voice phishing.

From voice phishing to these new forms of crime, fraud tactics are becoming increasingly sophisticated and elaborate. Experts point out that anyone can become a victim and that falling for such scams should never be viewed as a result of individual carelessness, ignorance, or greed. They emphasized that as criminal methods are rapidly advancing due to the development of AI technology, this is now a problem that requires a collective response from society as a whole, rather than just at the individual level.
