In mid-June, while driving down an alley in a residential area in Nam-gu, Busan, Mr. A came to a sudden stop with a blow to the right-hand mirror.
Surprised, Mr. A got out of the car, and an older man was crying while touching a broken porcelain on the floor. A man in a black suit, standing, handed a yellow envelope to Mr. A. On the outside of the envelope, was written ‘death certificate (cosmetic)’.
The man who wept sadly said that the broken china was the remains of his parents. He also demanded 300,000 won in consolation. A, who was surprised to the point of having a cold sweat on his back at the thought that he had broken the remains of the deceased, took the money out of his wallet and handed it to a man.
Although the accident was corrected, Mr. A was upset that he did not give the man his contact information. Thinking that he could become embroiled in a hit-and-run controversy later, Mr. A reported the accident to the police.
However, it turned out that this man was Mr. B (age 60), a con artist who received compensation from drivers using similar techniques before.
The identity of Mr. B was revealed after three months of persistent police investigation. At that time, the traffic accident team investigator at the Busan Southern Police Station, who received a report from Mr. A, became suspicious after hearing about the incident. This is because an accident with the same content was received not long ago.
Subsequently, other police stations also began looking for similar cases, and the investigator, who found 11 cases in all, followed Mr. B.
However, it was difficult for the men to know where they were, mainly because they only walked around places without CCTV.
Then a victim accidentally witnessed and reported the man in the street, and police investigated CCTV and caught the man.
Police believe that Mr. B took out 1.09 million won from 11 people from May last year to 7 this month. Mr. B was arrested after hitting his wrist against the side mirror with a technique called “ wrist blow ” and was arrested, confirming that there were various punishments.
It turned out that Mr. B wore a protective device made of silicone on his right arm for “assault fraud” and practiced the crime with anticipation. Mr. B was finally arrested on charges of habitual fraud on the 26th.
Police believe there will be more drivers who have suffered damage from similar techniques. A police officer said: “Mr. B would leave the house every day starting at 5 am and walk around town.” “
