"It was cheap..." A kimchi scam for "Gimpo" appears. [Anchor Report]

Due to the high price of cabbage ahead of the kimchi-making season, so-called "Kimpo people" who give up kimchi this year are also appearing.

There are a number of people online who say they have been cheated of kimchi using this psychology.

This is a sales article posted on the market of Korea's leading portal site.

It's 22,900 won for 5kg of Pogi Kimchi.

If you add 7,000 won to this, you can buy 10kg.

It is very attractive from the perspective of consumers who are worried about cabbage prices.

It induced payment only with deposit without a bankbook, and avoided doubts by putting up a website name that people could know.

The fraudster pretending to be a seller went into hiding after receiving a remittance, but the number of victims is estimated to be about 20,000 so far.

Buyers are revealing the damage, saying that the deposit without a bank account was suspicious or that they cut their nose.

We also received a related report on YTN, so let's listen to the victims' voices.

[Shim Jung-hee / Victim of Guro-dong, Seoul: It was written that since it was imported directly from Haenam, it would be a little late instead of cheap. It didn't come even after 15 days, so I called and couldn't get through.]

[Lee / Victim living in Ulsan: There are more than 900 victims in the group chat room. I think I heard that some people have bought 10 of them now. 10 for 29,900 won]
The homepage that the
impostor impersonated is a famous travel site in Korea.

The company also posted a notice on its website that reports of damage are flowing into travel agencies, saying it is irrelevant to the company and does not sell any products such as kimchi.At a time when

we are enduring the era of high prices together, fraud using that psychology is giving bitterness.
