22 people arrested for 400 fake accounts in fraud and phishing organizations

The Daegu Metropolitan Police Agency arrested 22 people on charges of selling more than 400 cannon accounts made in the name of a ghost corporation to a criminal organization, and arrested eight of them, including the chief in his 30s.

It turned out that they recruited people with a loan or a high-yield part-time job as bait and then created 34 corporate accounts and sold them under these names.

It was investigated that such fake accounts were mainly used for investment leading fraud or telephone financial fraud, causing 800 million won in damage.

Based on the fact that they systematically committed crimes, including recruiting people to receive confirmation calls from financial institutions, the police charged eight main offenders with organizing higher sentences.
