I have been getting suspicious messages and emails since I moved to Korea. What kinds of online scams and cybercrimes target foreigners here, and how do I protect myself?

The common ones are phishing texts pretending to be deliveries, immigration, or your bank, voice phishing impersonating officials, fake job and rental offers, and malicious QR codes (quishing). Never share OTP codes, don't install apps from links, and verify anything suspicious through official phone numbers. Report to the police at 112 or KISA at 118, and the 1332 financial line can help freeze accounts if money is involved.
