[단독] ‘Masking fraud’ in China, the United States and Mexico



[ad_1]

Do you remember the beginning of last year?

The scarcity of masks has peaked as fear of the crown has spread across the world.

However, in that situation, a Korean businessman has announced that he will export a huge quantity of masks to China and Mexico.

From the point of view of China and Mexico, they would have welcomed them with a pair of hands.

But at that time, even in Korea, there was a long line to buy masks, and there was even the number of purchases per person.

We have exclusively covered the full picture of international mask fraud by domestic companies.

A remote area in northeastern Mexico.

Believing that what a Korean company said was to store a large quantity of masks in warehouses here, the US brokerage decided to supply a large quantity of masks to the Mexican government, but only berated the Mexican government.

A Chinese trading company also signed a contract with the Korean company in February last year.

I sent a $ 1 million down payment for shooting to receive 4 million skins.

However, the delivery of the child’s file was delayed and in the end, I did not even receive a single mask.

There are more than 10 damaged companies in China, but as the Chinese companies belatedly discovered, the descriptions on the sales sites of the Korean companies were all false.

The Chinese office of a Korean company also borrowed just the address.

The Danish company, supplier of masks, had no contact with this Korean company.

Reporters went directly to the address of a Korean company, but it was used as a shared office and they could not even verify the identity of the company.

A domestic mask maker complains that it was only worn.

They promised massive export, but only took promotional samples.

[한국 업체 직원 : 어마어마한 수량을 팔아주겠다고 해서 5천만 장에 대한 계약서까지 써놓고 팔아주는 건 한 장도 없고, 차일피일 미루고, 어떤 자기의 도구(다른 용도)로 쓰여지지 않았나 싶어요.)]

A Chinese company that decided to supply masks to the Chinese government was said to be under tremendous pressure.

The police, who had been investigating the accusation of a Chinese company for six months, requested an arrest warrant against Park Mo, the company’s representative.

What is the reason such international scams were possible in Korea, the United States, China, and Mexico?

I followed Mr. Park, the company representative.

If you look at the promotional YouTube, there are a lot of videos of Park’s past broadcasts.

She is promoting her books and various lecture videos, saying that she is a successful young woman.

In particular, the awards were highlighted.

We have received several consecutive awards, including the ‘Brand Brilliance of the Year’ in December last year, the ‘Korea Customer Satisfaction Brand Awards’ in July last year, and the’ Number One Customer Satisfaction Index Award. 1 ‘in June. from last year.

But when I checked it, it was a prize that I could only receive in money.

Specifically, the awards received from the National Assembly have greatly increased confidence in Park, and the parliamentary chamber that hosted the event claims that it was delivered without knowing who received it.

In some media articles, the company reported that the volume of mask transactions exceeded 10 billion in the first half of last year, and sales were 2 trillion won.

Incidentally, 3M’s N95 mask, which the company claims to handle, has an annual output of just 2.5 billion sheets.

The allegations from the fictitious company were presented in the article as is.

Park is still promoting the composite image with the president as a profile picture on his personal SNS.

The police are expanding the investigation, seeing that there will be more cases of damage abroad.

※ Lee Hak-young, chairman of the Industry and Industry Committee of the National Assembly, said: “The subject who gave the list is correct, but he is not the ‘organizer’ of the event,” “he knew the name of the company to which the list was given to him, but he did not know the selection criteria. ”
