Title Series 2: Establishing a National Integrated Response System to Address the Surge in Multi-Victim Fraud Crimes Hit 201
Publication 2025-08-14

Institute for Future Strategy Issue Brief, August Vol. 40
“Building a Nationwide Integrated Response System to the Rapid Surge in Large-Scale Fraud Crimes (2)”

This issue brief provides a comprehensive analysis of the current state of large-scale fraud crimes—which have recently had serious impacts across society—and the institutional responses to them. It reviews domestic legislative developments related to large-scale fraud prevention, assessing both the achievements and limitations of existing measures such as the Multi-Fraud Prevention Act, the Digital Multi-Fraud Prevention Act, the Basic Fraud Prevention Act, and proposed amendments to the Act on the Compensation for Damage from Telecommunications Fraud.

The brief also compares successful overseas cases, such as Taiwan, and identifies key elements Korea should benchmark. These include real-time fraud blocking systems, the “warning account”, and stronger accountability for telecommunications and online platform providers.

In particular, it proposes the design of a four-stage response system—prevention, reporting, action, and cooperation—as well as the establishment of a Korea Anti-Fraud Center (KAFC) and the enactment of a “Special Act on Blocking Fraud Crimes and Preventing Victimisation” (tentative title). It also recommends leveraging AI-based risk analysis for real-time responses and building robust public–private collaboration mechanisms.

Through these measures, the brief highlights the need to establish an integrated system capable of responding swiftly and organically, even before crimes occur. Finally, it warns that the spread of large-scale fraud crimes poses not only individual harm but also systemic threats to the financial, telecommunications, and platform industries, stressing that comprehensive institutional reforms and public–private partnerships at the national level are essential for effective countermeasures.
