'재택근무 미끼' 14억대 사기 조직 돈 세탁한 중국인 유학생 구속자금은 유학생 통해 세탁…‘환치기’ 방식으로 약 5,400만 원의 부당이득 챙겨
[브레이크뉴스=배종태 기자] 재택근무를 미끼로 구직자들에게 접근한 사기 조직이 14억 원 상당의 자금을 갈취한 뒤, 이를 중국으로 송금한 유학생이 경찰에 붙잡혔다.
On the 10th, the Busan Metropolitan Police Agency’s Cyber Investigation Division announced that it had arrested Chinese international student A on charges of laundering the criminal proceeds of the fraud organization through illegal currency exchange and sent the case to the prosecution.
■ Victims are job seekers… lured to fake sites From February to May of this year, the fraud organization created fake sites impersonating airlines and posted job advertisements on job search platforms with the condition of ‘telework.’ They induced victims to sign up for the fake sites, saying that they would be assigned to airline ticketing services if they submitted their resumes.
In the beginning, they gave out points for free and had them perform virtual tasks such as ticketing, and later, when the points were depleted, they had the victims deposit money directly under the pretext of recharging. The total amount of money extorted in this way amounts to 1.45 billion won.
■ Money laundered through international students… ‘Money Changing’ Method The money was transferred to China through Chinese student A, who was staying in Korea. A promoted the money changing service to other students, saying, “The fees are lower than official money changing centers,” and received Yuan by directly transferring the Won received as damages to the accounts requested by the students or to the university tuition payment accounts.
This is the so-called ‘money changing’ method. It was investigated that A transferred a total of 4.21 million Yuan (approximately 1.45 billion Won) and made an illicit profit of approximately 54 million Won in the process.
■ Blocking fake sites… Investigation into accomplices is also underway The police requested the Korea Communications Standards Commission to block the fake site. They are also expanding the investigation into the remaining accomplices and the flow of funds in the organization.
■ Police: “You should definitely be suspicious of requests for point charging” The police warned that “point charging or requests for money cannot occur during normal recruitment procedures,” and “especially if you are directed to access through a link or app that is not an official website, there is a high possibility that it is a scam.”
