Detectives' Trade Secrets tracked the identity of a new type of scammer who solves accommodation and meals with money obtained through fraud. Additionally, the story of a husband who had an affair with foreign women after returning to farming, and a mother-in-law who concealed this, sparked public outrage over an unprecedented "rural infidelity true story."
The 4th broadcast of Detectives' Trade Secrets on Channel A covered the new scam incident that took place in an online tool community with about 700 members. The client made a deposit after seeing a post that advertised a 2 kg gift set of Korean beef, normally priced at 200,000 to 250,000 won, for just 60,000 won. However, after waiting for a delivery that never arrived, when the client inquired about it, they were met with forced withdrawal from the community and being blocked. The bank was contacted with the request, "I sent the money by mistake, please return it," but the response was that "the refund application was rejected as it was deemed a legitimate receipt." It turned out that the account to which the client had sent the money belonged to a lodging establishment. The scammer had tricked the client into paying for their motel accommodation instead.
Another victim was deceived into making a deposit after being promised 10 snow crabs and 2 king crabs for 70,000 won. Similar to the previous client, the refund application submitted to the bank was also rejected. The account where the victim sent the money belonged to a fried chicken restaurant, and it was revealed that the scammer took fried chicken and alcohol from there. In the victim support group formed in the community the client established, dozens of other victims shared their suffering from the same method. The Owl Detective Corps, which initiated inquiries, received a crucial tip from the owner of a lodging establishment stating, "This person checked out this morning." Upon checking the CCTV, it was confirmed that the scammer had left just an hour prior. Whether the Owl Detective Corps can catch the 'new type of scammer' will continue next week on Detectives' Trade Secrets.
In the detective dramadoc "Incident Notebook," featuring Urban Zakapa's Jo Hyun A as a daily detective, a female client appeared, saying, "I think my husband, who returned to farming, is having an affair." The client, who had been living as a weekend couple with her husband following his return to farming, one day saw a nude photo of her husband on social media. As a result of the detective team's investigation, it turned out that her husband was having an affair with a foreign dancer working at a local entertainment bar. The mistress was reported for illegal employment and was deported from Korea, but the husband had another foreign mistress. This woman worked as a manager on the farm owned by the mother-in-law and was already being called "the lady" among the workers.
Upon discovering this, the client confronted the two together, but the husband's mistress arrogantly said to her, "I'm doing what you should do, so you should be grateful to me." The mother-in-law told the client that she would send her son's mistress away immediately, but behind her back, she was hiding and protecting her. It turned out that the husband's mistress had even brought all her relatives to settle in the same village. When the client reported them for illegal residency, the villagers, concerned about the labor shortage, protested strongly. Ultimately, the client surrendered to the interests of this cartel-like group and chose divorce. Soon after, foreign workers on the farm were all caught and deported for other illegal activities, resulting in the mother-in-law and husband closing the farm, culminating in a "soda bottle finale."
