Police have arrested a group of people who pocketed more than 12 billion won through the so-called "romance scam" method of dating.
The anti-corruption and economic crime investigation unit of the Busan Metropolitan Police Agency arrested 20 fraudulent members and arrested 12 people on charges of fraud and other charges.
From January to August, they are accused of approaching victims under the guise of a Korean-foreign woman, gaining favor, and luring them to false investment sites to receive 12.2 billion won from 84 people.
Police are looking for six people, including the chief, who is staying abroad.
