As a South Korean, I can say South Korea is quite safe. But everyone still has to be careful of scam or anyone can get involved in troubles like felon. Still, many weird scammers who impersonate police or prosecutor call you on the phone and ask you to make a bank account or download the files they send to you. Never download the files they send to you and never send them money.
After staying in Korea for almost 5years, I can relate to all those cases. I think people should consider watching this video before they feel too comfortable! Thanks for the useful information!
Hello! I went to college with you at UChicago and also moved to Korea a few years ago as well. This is one of the best videos I have seen on this topic. You clearly put a lot of effort into it. Thank you for making it!
Oh, hello! Can't guess who you might be, but thank you so much for watching! I don't know how successful I am each time, but I'm really trying to bring new perspectives and deeper thinking to the usual "Korea content" topics. Comments like this really motivate me, so I'll keep trying my best!!!
It was annoying AF and the numbers they called from differed by like 1 number at the end, so blocking the numbers does nothing 😂 Fortunately, after I changed my number, it died down. But yeah it comes out on the news sometimes when they bust someone. They have whole organizations, not just one person running a scam. Wild.
That's honestly a question I've been thinking about myself. I have some theories, but if I ever find some evidence to back them up... I'll make a video on it 😂
