[Important Notice for International Students Tuition Payment: Beware of Voice Phishing Fraud]
Recently, there has been an increase in cases where international students become entangled in electronic telecommunications financial fraud (voice phishing) crimes by paying tuition through illegal private currency exchange offices, KakaoTalk open chat rooms, or brokers impersonating acquaintances, instead of using official financial institutions.
If payment is not made through an official financial institution, funds from these crimes may be deposited into the student's virtual tuition account, leading to unavoidable situations such as the freezing of the university's tuition bank account and the student's own involvement in criminal activity.
Please ensure you follow the points below to ensure safe tuition payment.
- Payment must be made directly by the student through an official domestic or international financial institution.
- Use officially recommended payment methods such as foreign currency transfers, Alipay, WeChat Pay, PayPal, and other officially approved methods.
- Absolutely do not use acquaintances, study abroad brokers, or unofficial private currency exchange offices.
Please exercise extreme caution, as involvement in electronic telecommunications financial fraud (voice phishing) regarding tuition payment may result in legal action, including both civil and criminal liability.
