”No-show scam” where people pretend to be military troops and place large orders continues to spread in Paju, following Incheon (South Korea)

Recently, there have been a number of cases of "no-show" scams in the metropolitan area in which people pose as military personnel and order large amounts of food and drink from self-employed people, then stop contacting them.
On the 22nd, Mr. A, who has been self-employed in Paju for 13 years, told E-Daily, "On the 15th of this month, I was arrested for a crime known as 'Ki
"I had a bad feeling, so I checked my contact details again that night and found the profile picture of the person calling themselves 'Lieutenant Mu Tae-soo.'"
The photo had been changed and the name had been changed to "Park Min-chan", so I realized it was a scam." Fortunately, Mr. A found out about this before receiving the reservation and avoided the damage.
A said, "I received several group orders for military dinner parties, but I thought it was strange that the accounting staff didn't take the payment in advance, which is usually the case."
"When I asked for payment before the time, he said he wanted to pay on the spot, so I refused the order," he said. However, in addition to Mr. A, a self-employed person in the Paju area was also a victim of "no-shows" using a similar method.
It was revealed that A had been attacked by a thief and reported the incident to the Paju Police Station. The Paju Police Station has already begun an investigation into the case. A said, "I don't know why someone would do something like this. The economy is bad and I've been drinking a lot.
"The restaurant owners are all working really hard despite the difficulties," he said. "Even if someone throws a rock as a prank, if it hits a frog it will die. I hope the police catch them."
Prior to this, a no-show scam was also reported in Young Jing Island, Incheon, where someone pretended to be a soldier.
On the account, someone wrote about how they had received an order for 50 bulgogi meals and then lost contact with the company.
