The gangs allegedly operated in a residential office complex in Incheon from June 2023 to April 2025 and stole a total of 730 million won (about 522,000 US dollars). These fraud activities are carried out by a well-structured team, including a mastermind, a team leader responsible for training and communication, and telephone customer service to contact victims.
