**Warning about Suspicious Part-Time Job Listings**

A current lawyer has raised concerns about suspicious part-time job listings posted on second-hand trading platforms and local community boards.

On the 29th, a lawyer emphasized through social media, "You should never take jobs that ask you to deliver bags, shopping bags, or items, as they could be exploited for voice phishing or drug trafficking."

"You should never take jobs that ask you to deliver bags, shopping bags, or items."

The lawyer warned that "engaging in such activities could result in being summoned by investigative authorities and becoming our client," and urged particular caution regarding cases of impersonation of law enforcement agencies.

He explained, "There are instances where individuals impersonate prosecutors or police officers, deceiving victims into thinking it's a summary investigation test and instructing them to fetch shopping bags or small bags; this is a method to facilitate voice phishing or drug trafficking."

Additionally, he noted, "Real investigative agencies never conduct such tests."

**The Risks of Non-Face-to-Face Organized Crime**

The case of a voice phishing crime organization that was uncovered in April last year exemplifies these dangers.

The 27 gang members arrested at that time recruited for their part-time jobs via social media and carried out crimes while not knowing each other's faces, dividing roles among themselves.

The police warned that scams or drug-related crimes conducted through non-face-to-face interactions are treated as organized crime and can result in severe penalties.

Particularly concerning is the fact that not only individuals in their 20s and 30s who are experiencing financial hardships but also teenagers may unknowingly become part of organized crime. The police emphasized, "In the desire to earn money easily, one might step into such acts and unwittingly become involved in organized crime," adding, "Non-face-to-face organized crime is punishable as organized crime."

"In the desire to earn money easily, one might step into such acts and unwittingly become involved in organized crime."

With the rise of online job recruitment platforms, these illegal part-time job lure tactics are becoming increasingly sophisticated, necessitating heightened vigilance among job seekers.
