- ✓Hang up and call the bank or agency back on their official number.
- ✓If you already sent money, call 1332 and 112 right now.
How it works
You tick the warning signs you’re seeing in a call, text or offer, and it tells you how risky it looks and what to do. Some signs — a request for a code, or a “safe account” — almost always mean fraud.
No real police officer, prosecutor or bank ever tells you to move your money to a “safe account” (안전계좌). It only exists in scams. If you hear it, it’s fraud — hang up.
Act within minutes. Call 1332 (financial fraud) and your bank to try to freeze the transfer, then report to police at 112. Keep all messages and numbers as evidence.
No. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing you tick is sent to a server or stored.
The single rule that stops most scams: never share an OTP or verification code, and never move money to a “safe account.” No bank or official will ever ask for either.
Scammers spoof real phone numbers and copy official logos. Don’t trust how a call or message looks — verify by calling the official number yourself.

Real police and prosecutors don’t call to make you move money or read out codes. Hang up and call 112 to check. It’s almost certainly a scam.
Don’t enter anything. If you installed an app, disconnect from the internet and remove it (or factory-reset), change your passwords, watch your accounts, and call 118.
Yes. 112 and 1332 can arrange interpretation, and you can report online. Move fast and keep your evidence — screenshots, numbers and receipts.
