”Mom, I've been kidnapped”...Daughter studying abroad asks for cash over the phone? = Korea

It is well known that the police in Jeju, South Korea, who received a report stating that their daughter had been abducted, instinctively realized that it was a voice phishing crime and quickly provided international assistance to prevent the fraud.
It was done. According to the Seogwipo Police Station on the 18th, a report was received at around 9:10 pm on the 15th stating that a daughter studying abroad in Chicago, USA, had been abducted.
According to the police, Mr. A received a phone call from his daughter at around 9:05 a.m., five minutes before the call was made, saying that she had been abducted. A fake voice created by AI was used
It was something. The blackmailer then answered the phone and threatened Mr. A, saying, ``If you don't send 10 million won in cash, I will harm your daughter.''
The money transfer scammer's methods were elaborate. He cannot report Mr. and Mrs. A to the police.
I gathered them all in one place and instructed them to turn off their husband B's cell phone. Fortunately, this happened after Mr. B called the police. Police activate "Code 0", the highest level of dispatch, and are dispatched to the scene.
Meanwhile, when they saw that Mr. B's cell phone was off, they intuited that it was a recent voice phishing scam, and immediately conducted location tracking and communications investigation.
The police met Mr. and Mrs. A, calmed them down, and informed them that their daughter had boarded a plane from Chicago to Taiwan for a school event that day.
I understood the truth. Police then immediately tried to contact the Korean Consulate General in Chicago. After constant communication, they even confirmed that their daughter had boarded the plane safely.
Mr. A and his wife confirmed on the phone that nothing was wrong with their daughter after they arrived in Taiwan.
Mr. and Mrs. A said, ``We would like to express our deep gratitude to you for making sure that our daughter was safe and giving us peace of mind.''
I would like to express my respect to all law enforcement personnel." Lieutenant Yang Jin-mo of Andeong Police Station, who was dispatched to the scene that day, said, ``Due to the recent development of AI technology, it is not easy to communicate.
Phishing crimes in which people pretend to be family members residing overseas are on the rise, so we need to be especially careful."
