F-4 Visa Holder Accused as Voice Phishing Money Collector: Case Closed with Non-Prosecution, Deportation Avoided
F-4 Visa Holder Accused as Voice Phishing Money Collector: Case Closed with Non-Prosecution, Deportation Avoided
An ethnic Korean with an F-4 visa was arrested after unknowingly working as a “money collector” for a voice phishing scheme. Recruited through social media with the promise of quick pay, he retrieved cash and transferred it to an assigned account — not realizing it was part of a fraud.
Despite his lack of prior offenses and minimal role, he faced serious charges under Korea’s fraud laws and was flagged for possible deportation.
Dongju Law Firm demonstrated that he was only a minor participant, showed that he received no profit, and highlighted his cooperation with investigators and partial repayment to victims. The firm also directly communicated with immigration authorities, requesting suspension of deportation measures.
✅ The result? The prosecution granted a non-prosecution (기소유예) decision, and immigration authorities allowed him to keep his F-4 visa — letting him remain in Korea without disruption.
