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

It's 2 News right now.

There is even a so-called "Kimpo people" who give up making kimchi this year due to the high price of cabbage ahead of the kimchi-making season.

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
kimchi, and if you add 7,000 won to this, you can buy 10kg.

It is very attractive for consumers who are worried about cabbage prices.

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

A scammer 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 say, "I was suspicious of depositing money without a bank account," "I wondered why it came out cheap," and "I cut my nose with my eyes open," revealing the damage to both you and me.

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 posted a notice on its website that "damage reports are flowing into travel agencies," adding, "It is irrelevant to the company, and we do not sell any products such as kimchi."


This is news that only leaves bitterness in fraud using that psychology when we endure the high price era together.
