Calling attention to business operators who offer consumers to purchase information products, etc., and force them to pay a large amount of money, saying, "Your photos will turn into money right away!"
Updated: November 15, 2017
Since January 2017, we have been soliciting on our website, saying, “Your photos will turn into money right away!” and “You can make money just by taking photos.” Local consumer affairs centers, etc. have been receiving consultations regarding businesses that make people pay high costs.
From the Consumer Affairs Agency, based on the provisions of Article 38, Paragraph 1 of the Consumer Safety Act (Law No. 50 of 2009), in transactions with "Idea Co., Ltd." We have received information that there is an act (misrepresentation), so we will inform consumers in order to prevent the occurrence or expansion of consumer damage.
For details, please see the Consumer Affairs Agency website.
