[사회][제보는Y] “He’s the ○○ construction manager” check scam

[앵커]

The owner of the gold and silver room received a report that he had been scammed after giving him 300 million won worth of gold, believing he was the manager of a construction company.

I received a deposit text from the bank and handed me a gold bar, but it turned out to be a bankruptcy check.

The police have been looking for the culprit for the second month, and reporter Da-yeon Kim reports what loophole it was aiming for.

A man enters the gold and silver room.

When they say they’ve come to pick up the item for you, the employee makes several phone calls, checks their ID, and hands over the gold they had prepared.

It is 5 1kg gold bars, which is worth 380 million won.

[○○ 금은거래소 직원 : 이상하다 생각은 했는데 그분의 신분증도 봤고 여러 가지 개인 신변조사를 한 다음에…. 이미 근데 입금은 완료된 상태였고….]

Before handing over, the employee checked a text message stating that the deposit was complete.

But it was a scam.

A check, that was already a’bad check’ that wasn’t available for years.

Employees who saw the deposit notice text and thought that the cash would have come in, say they only want to turn their time.

[○○ 금은거래소 관계자 : 큰 금액을 수표로 입금하면 다음 날 은행에서 찾을 수 있다는 것을 악용해서…. 3억8천16만 원 입금 이렇게 내용이 뜨다 보니 저희는 당연히 현금으로 입금한 것과 같은 생각으로….]

Looking back, there weren’t one or two that were questionable.

The killer never showed up.

I continued to consult with the purchase over the phone, and when I was suspicious, I took a business card and sent it.

On the day I decided to meet, I was tested for Corona 19 and said it was difficult to visit, and did not show my face until the end.

[가게 직원-범인 통화 (지난해 12월) : (그러면 그날은 고객 쪽에서 오시는 건가요?) 예, 고객 쪽에서 아마 자기들 운송업체든 누굴 보내든 하면 제 명함을 주시면 돼요. 그렇게 약속했어요. (네, 알겠습니다)]

It was a Colevan driver who actually came to get the gold.

It is known that the Colevan driver, who caught a taxi in front of the store, met a delivery driver at the place the suspect said and delivered the gold bars.

The investigation has been on hold for the second month.

The police explained that CCTV tracking is no longer difficult as the suspect disappeared last in the hillside in Ansan, Gyeonggi-do.

The police are narrowing down the network by tracking the call list.

[경찰 관계자 : 그 외에도 여러 가지 할 수 있는 건 다 하죠. 수표 입금하고 할 때 (묻은) 지문이 있는지 이런 수사도 하고….]

The police and banks made sure to check whether the transaction was in cash or by check, and if they offered to deposit a large amount by check, they asked for suspicion and reporting.
