Yi You International, July 9th. According to the WeChat official account of the Chinese Embassy in South Korea, not long ago, the Chinese Embassy in South Korea received a letter from a Chinese citizen. A said that he got to know B, who is also a Chinese citizen, during his work in South Korea. After the two got to know each other, B asked A to send a package to a certain place and promised to give a "hard work" on the grounds that he had to return home temporarily and had no time to send a package to his friend ". A felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he helped B deliver the package several times and charged a lot of "hard work fees". A few months later, when the police came to the door, A knew that the package he helped to deliver was a repeater used for telecom fraud. As a result, A was involved in telecom fraud and faced high compensation and prison.
What is a repeater? What laws does a transport repeater violate?
Repeater, also known as "simbox", is an important tool for telecom fraud. It can disguise Internet phone numbers as "010", "02", "032" and other South Korea mobile and landline numbers to avoid being suspected of being fraudulent numbers. The installation, management, and transportation of repeaters may be suspected of violating the South Korea Telecommunications Industry Act.
the Chinese embassy in South Korea hereby reminds Chinese citizens in South Korea that formal and legal transfer and transfer of goods can be completed by individuals through express delivery companies and banks. Please be vigilant against the entrustment of others to send goods and transfer. Don't be credulous or lucky. Don't get involved in telecom fraud because of "friends" or "hard work", otherwise you may face huge fines and deportation, even prison, to individuals and families to bring huge losses.
