He emphasized that "If you are contacted with a suspected private name, never respond and ask for special attention to prevent similar damage from occurring."Recently, there has been a series of fraudulent methods using the 'proxy purchase' method of impersonating managers of famous celebrities such as Song Ga-in, Baek Ji-young, Nam Jin, Nam Goong-min, and Lee Soo-geun to make reservations at restaurants in the name of company dinners and demand money.
Lim Young-woong also appears to be an example of abuse in the same method. They are cautioning against similar fraud damage.
The following is the full text of Lim Young-woong's position.
Hello, we're Fish Music.
Recently, there have been cases of impersonating the name of our company and our artist Lim Young-woong, causing no-show damage or demanding high-end liquor delivery and monetary provision under the pretext of restaurant reservations.
This is a new type of fraud method that seeks financial gain by stealing a celebrity's name and agency in a similar way to voice phishing.
Fish Music does not make restaurant reservations outside in our company's name, nor does it require any money transfer, purchase of goods, or delivery of alcoholic beverages in any case. We would like to inform you that all of these demands are illegal acts by impersonation.
If you are contacted with a suspected impersonation, please never respond and pay special attention to prevent similar damage.
Thank you.
