South Korea's National Tax Agency warns of unpaid income tax notifications pretending to be from the National Tax Agency

On the 10th, the Korean National Tax Service warned of fraudulent emails and messages purporting to be from the National Tax Service. At the time of value-added tax return and year-end settlement, money will be deposited into your personal account under the guise of notification of unpaid income tax.
The emails demand money and are often sent to internet calls or personal cell phone numbers. Recently, in South Korea, there has been a rise in the number of "income" scams that pretend to be from the National Tax Agency and trick people into depositing small amounts of money into their personal accounts.
The number of fraudulent e-mails and messages "notifying you of non-payment of taxes" is increasing. The agency said, ``Never respond to such fraudulent emails or messages, and do not encourage users to log in to the portal site.''
"If this happens, it is important to delete your email without logging in and change your password." Additionally, tax-related messages may be sent to your Internet phone or personal mobile phone number.
He emphasized that people should be suspicious if they are believed to be trustworthy, and that national taxes should not be remitted to accounts in their own names. The agency recommends that if you have been victimized by an email or text message purporting to be from the National Tax Agency, please contact the National Tax Agency.
