omonatheydidA group of men and women have been arrested and five others booked for blackmailing intoxicated drivers. The ring caused car accidents after the women got men they lured in an online chat room to drink at a pub and to drive home drunk, according to police. Gangseo Police Station in Seoul reported Tuesday that they made tens of millions of won. Police said that a 27-year-old man, identified as Park, lured men with cars by opening an online chat room, “one-night stand in a love hotel.”
When they contact Park online, he asked them to come to a pub in Gangseo District, saying that he had some ladies to play with. The ladies, who were in collusion with Park, got the men to drink and drive. While they were driving, another accomplice Seo, 25, hit the vehicle to the back on purpose and demanded money for repairing his damaged vehicle.
The ring blackmailed 11 victims for a total of 26.8 million won since January, according to the police. One victim with the family name of Kim paid 8.8 million won. Among the women were, a high school student and a North Korean defector the girlfriends of Park and Kim, according to police.
“The victims paid money to the gang as they were scared of losing their driver’s licenses and paying a huge fine for drunk driving,” a police officer said. “Citizens should be cautious when they chat online because the chat room is used as a tool for various crimes these days.”
