Gyeonggi Province has launched an initiative to train specialized instructors for education on the prevention of telecom financial fraud (voice phishing).


On March 23, the province announced that it would train specialized personnel for preventing voice phishing damage among provincial residents by March 31, and is recruiting 50 participants for the training program.


The recruitment targets Gyeonggi residents who have previous experience as instructors in telecom financial fraud prevention education, financial education, or consumer education.


From April 7 to 9, Gyeonggi Province will provide training for participants on major types and recent cases of telecom financial fraud, as well as introduce the latest response measures from the Financial Supervisory Service, telecommunications companies, and banks, along with preventive systems.

Subsequently, through an evaluation of each instructor's demonstration lecture, the province plans to appoint 30 outstanding instructors.


Residents can apply by registering on the Gyeonggi-do Lifelong Learning Portal, GSEEK, and submitting their application form online via the offline learning course bulletin board.



Seo Bongja, Director of the Fair Economy Division at Gyeonggi Province, stated, "As voice phishing tactics rapidly evolve, anyone can become a victim. That is why repeated education and publicity are essential," adding, "We look forward to the active participation of provincial residents in this program."
