I am a member of Nunting. I am writing this in the hope that I may be able to catch it.
I am an ordinary self-employed person who enjoys watching short videos on the TikTok app.
About a month ago, a woman contacted me through a Tiktok message saying that she was a 36-year-old single woman (mother of 6) who came to Korea from Malaysia. I accepted her request to be her KakaoTalk friend.
After a few days of talking through KakaoTalk, we became like lovers and even exchanged photos of each other’s faces.
The woman’s job was to open a studio in Incheon and as a side job.

He said that he earns pocket money and income by doing marketing at a company called ovo.
I just thought something like that happened and didn’t think it was a big deal. We then continued our daily conversation for several days.
Then, on August 1st, the friend said he had a favor to ask and asked her to do something she was doing as a side job.
A request has been received to become a member of ovo. The reason was that if you use your ID as a recommender when signing up as a member, you will receive a commission. I said I would accept it as long as there was no harm to me.
Then, I asked them to send me the URL address.
000.cc
I sent you a link.
I signed up as requested, and they asked me to take a screenshot of the login screen, which I did. This time, they told me to log out, gave me my ID and password, and asked me to log in as myself.
So I logged in. Then, this time, they sent me the captured photos in order and asked me to click here and click here, but I was suspicious because I saw something like charging money. Can’t you do this yourself?? When asked. He said he couldn’t do it himself because he was the owner.
I didn’t know what that meant at the time, but he said he would charge it himself and asked me to do it for him. So I started…
The contents are as follows.
If an individual deposits a deposit into a virtual account using virtual currency or cash and shows a captured photo of the deposit to the customer center, the product registered on the site will be sold for that amount, and a total of 30 transactions must be completed. If you sell one item at a time, a commission is charged, and if you run out of money while doing 30 items, you can recharge it several times (I remember charging it 4-5 times) to complete a total of 30 items. As a result, the person loaded up about $1,300 and withdrew a total of about $1,900.
I was happy to see her happy that she had earned about $600 with just a few clicks.
This time, if you log in with my ID, they tell you that it is linked to the referral code and that you should check to see if you have received a commission. I actually had about $49 in money, so I requested a withdrawal to my bank account that I entered when signing up, and 63,000 won was deposited.
He said he was thankful for the unexpected free money and said he could eat chicken and beer with it today. He said he liked it, so he suggested that he try it himself, saying that since his brother had also signed up for membership through him, he was now qualified to sell it.
They said you can only try twice a day.
So, I decided to give it a try and started by topping up 450,000 won. During the 30 sales process, I recharged a total of 1.7 million won and withdrew 2.2 million won through virtual account deposit. I thought, how easy it is to make money like this? When I was notified of the result via KakaoTalk, he congratulated me and told me to try it again since I could do it twice a day. The second time started with a light heart, starting with charging 700,000 won.
However, the recharge amount increased in the interim.
1.3 million won for two charges.
7.5 million won for 3 charges.
After charging 4 times, I deposited 13 million won in cash through a virtual account, and on the 29th out of 30 times, a message appeared asking me to recharge 27 million won. I was suspicious and could not do it anymore, so I asked the customer service center to return only my principal, but the reply I received was 30. The only answer I received was that I had to clear the session to withdraw money.
I immediately reported it to 112 and said that I felt like I had been victimized by a new type of fraud. I was told to visit the relevant police station to report the fraud case, so I went to the police station and asked the cyber investigation team.
I hope there are no cases… I hope this isn’t a scam…
When I spoke to the police investigator, they told me that this was definitely a scam and not to respond any further.
When I filed the complaint that day, I was furious that I had been scammed out of 24 million won, and when I told my KakaoTalk friend to stop because I had reported it to the police, he said that he had nothing to do with it and that this happened because of him and that he would solve it.
He then said that he would borrow money from his family and sell his uncle’s stocks to find the money.
He reassured me and told me not to worry, and that the site was a global site operated by Lenovo, so the money I had recharged was safely stored there, and I could get all the recharge money and fees back as long as I completed the mission.
Then, on Saturday, August 10th, the company said that it could not wait any longer and that 19:10 expired, and threatened that if it exceeded that time, Lenovo’s legal team could file a claim for damages for breach of contract, and the amount was a huge amount, which the global company They threatened to say that an individual has never won against , and sold it as a truly trustworthy site. They said that even if you only complete the mission and cancel without registering for the remaining rounds, it will be recognized and withdrawals are possible.
So, around 18:50, I deposited 27 million won again and cleared the 29th mission. For the 30th time, the cancellation request was accepted by the customer center.
When I tried to withdraw the money right away, I canceled it in the middle of the day, so I was told that I could withdraw it after 3 business days. Then, they said that it would be withdrawn after noon next Wednesday. When I asked how much I wanted to withdraw, the customer service center told me that it was about 97 million won.
After 3 days, I requested a withdrawal around 12:00 on August 14th, and after 20 minutes, the deposit was not received. When I contacted customer service, they asked for another 16 million won, saying that I had to pay taxes because my income was over 10,000 dollars. Since I don’t have money to pay taxes, I insisted that I get my money back after deducting income tax, and the customer service center said no.
I went to the police station again. When I told another investigator that this was the second application, he looked at the previous data and asked if he had sent money again? He probably told you not to talk to him, but why did you do that? Even now, block everyone and don’t deal with them.
This time they will demand taxes and next time they will demand tariffs. I told them not to deal with me anymore because they would steal everything I had, but I had already lost 52 million won.
The police also said the investigation would take a long time.
After that, my life was devastated. Every day is hell and is there anyone who sees something like that on the news?? I laughed at it, but it became my job. Greed was the problem…
The person lives in Incheon and I am sharing the photo he sent me saying it is his face. If you see it, please report it to Cheonan Dongnam Police Station or in the comments.
