CoinVoice has recently learned that according to Cryptonews, a Bitcoin mining fraud gang in South Korea was seized by the police because they mistakenly targeted detectives as the target of a "high-yield investment crypto scam." In April this year, a detective from the Mobile Crime Investigation Team of the Gyeonggi Southern Police Agency received a fraud call from the gang and pretended to be deceived, providing bank account information and other information to cooperate with the investigation. The police then tracked down the organization's "headquarters" in Incheon through this information.
A total of 81 people were arrested in the operation, including those suspected of purchasing leaked personal data. Police pointed out that the gang also used fake SIM cards to carry out fraud. On November 6, the Mobile Crime Investigation Team announced that 9 people, including the "leader" of the gang, were detained, and the remaining 7 people were charged with similar crimes and granted bail.
