Be warned of no-show fraud at Eulji Medical Center...Request for impersonation of professors and faculty members, pre-payment, etc
Jul 10, 2025
Eulji University Medical Center (Director Song Byung-joo), who impersonated the head of the medical center or a professor, asked for caution to avoid similar damage as a so-called 'no-show (reservation default)' fraud is occurring.
According to recent media reports, some scammers are engaged in a `private no-show scam' in which they make fake business cards of professors and university faculty members, request restaurants and stores to order food or expensive items, and then cut off contact.
The crime is an intelligent fraud method that exploits the trust of the institution, and the damage is passed on to the shopping mall.
An official at the Eulji Medical Center emphasized, "'There will never be a request for proxy purchase or advance payment from an outside restaurant or store by the affiliated hospital or member to induce delivery to a designated company.'" "If you receive a suspicious call or order request, make sure to call the relevant agency directly to check whether it is true or not."
In addition, "We will establish a system of constant cooperation with the local community to prevent damage from occurring" he said. "We ask for the special attention of local merchants and citizens."
