Police have arrested a group of people who stole more than 20 billion won by deceiving them that they will earn up to 500% of profits if unlisted stocks are listed.

The police believe that there are more victims and continue their investigation, and they asked us to be careful of promotional texts such as "scheduled to be listed" and "high profits for a short period of time."

There are a bunch of 50,000 won bills piled up in the room.

"Seven, eight, nine, ten...."

It's money from the house of a group of people suspected of buying unlisted stocks.

They are accused of selling unlisted stocks purchased at a low price through brokers to victims by deceiving them that they can make 300 to 500% of profits if they are listed without obtaining financial investment business authorization.

In the process, an unlisted company falsely promoted that it had formed a cooperative relationship with a famous conglomerate, but it was confirmed that the number of victims who recruited non-face-to-face, such as SNS, was small, or that it would be listed if more shareholders gathered.

The police arrested 103 people for taking 20.8 billion won from 580 people from July 2020 to October last year, and arrested 11 of them.

However, the police, who analyzed the confiscated data, are expanding their investigation, believing that they ripped a total of 114 billion won from 6,700 people in 28 months.

The police explained that they are securing additional damage statements, believing that there are victims who have not yet received a report because they do not know that they have been swindled.

They also applied the crime of organizing criminal groups, saying that they committed 11 branches in each region, including Gangnam, Seoul, Songpa, and Gyeonggi-do, centering on the Incheon headquarters.

[Oh Kyu-sik / Head of Cyber Investigation 2 of Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency: Recently, there have been many fraudulent crimes that induce investment in unlisted stocks by using phrases such as non-face-to-face listing, selection of organizer, and short-term high returns. Special attention needs to be paid to this.]

As such, the police emphasized that it must be checked whether it is a financial company in the entire investment system.
