SEOUL: A 75-year-old woman narrowly avoided losing her life savings to a voice phishing scam this week, thanks to the sharp instincts of a taxi driver who sensed something was wrong.
According to Gwangju Bukbu Police Station, the woman, a resident of a convent in Yeonggwang, South Jeolla Province, received a call on Sept 3 from a man posing as a Financial Supervisory Service official who convinced her that her bank account had been tied to criminal activity.
