УВЕДОМЛЕНИЕВ последнее время в Республике Корея фиксируются участившиеся случаи задержания граждан Республики Казахстан, а также возбуждения в отношении них уголовных дел по обвинению в пособничестве либо участии в мошеннических схемах на территории страны.Одним из распространённых способов вовлечения граждан является предложение работы онлайн, в том числе через анонимные группы в мессенджерах и по телефону. Как правило, предлагается «лёгкий» и быстрый заработок за выполнение определённых действий и поручений.Следует особо подчеркнуть, что незнание закона не освобождает от ответственности. Независимо от наличия либо отсутствия прямого умысла, совершение определённых действий, противоречащих требованиям законодательства Республики Корея, может повлечь квалификацию таких действий как правонарушение либо уголовное преступление с наступлением соответствующих правовых последствий.Участие в мошеннических схемах, включая неправомерное использование специализированного телекоммуникационного оборудования, средств связи и SIM-карт операторов связи, а также осуществление голосового и автоматизированного (роботизированного) телефонного мошенничества, направленного на введение в заблуждение населения и незаконное завладение чужим имуществом, в соответствии с законодательством Республики Корея квалифицируется как тяжкое уголовное преступление и влечёт за собой строгую уголовную ответственность.⚠️ Особо обращаем внимание, что даже разовое выполнение на первый взгляд «несложных поручений», связанных с передачей SIM-карт, мобильных телефонов, банковских карт, оборудования связи, получением или переводом денежных средств по просьбе третьих лиц, а также предоставлением своих персональных данных или банковских реквизитов, может быть расценено правоохранительными органами Республики Корея как содействие противоправной деятельности с наступлением уголовной ответственности.⚠️ Генеральное консульство Республики Казахстан в г. Пусан настоятельно призывает граждан Республики Казахстан неукоснительно соблюдать законодательство Республики Корея, проявлять максимальную бдительность, осмотрительность и личную ответственность за свои действия и принимаемые решения, тщательно проверять законность любой предлагаемой деятельности, а также воздерживаться от участия в любых сомнительных и противоправных видах деятельности и ни при каких обстоятельствах не соглашаться на предложения «лёгкого заработка», которые могут повлечь серьёзные правовые последствия на территории Республики Корея.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa-busan/press/news/details/1220557?lang=kk
