100多名老人被骗约5亿韩元，韩国光州警方捣毁虚拟资产投资诈骗团伙

Odaily News: The Cyber Crime Investigation Division of the Gwangju Metropolitan Police Agency in South Korea announced that it has detained and referred three individuals, including a person identified as "A," on charges of fraud. The group is suspected of defrauding over 100 elderly people aged 70 to 80 of approximately 500 million Korean won between November 2024 and recently, under the pretense of virtual asset investments.

The investigation revealed that the group set up offices in Seoul, Gwangju, and Gunsan, North Jeolla Province, and held on-site briefings to deceive elderly individuals with limited understanding of virtual assets, using false promises such as "guaranteed principal" and "returns of over 10 billion Korean won." Police launched an investigation in March following a tip-off from an investment briefing in Seo-gu, Gwangju, and arrested the suspects one by one by tracing the flow of funds. Authorities believe there may be additional undiscovered victims and are currently expanding the scope of the investigation, while cautioning the public against investment advice that promises guaranteed principal and high returns.
