[뉴스토마토 이규하 기자] The Korea Sales Success Engineering Association and KSSA, which advertised fraudulently as if anyone could earn high profits in a short period of time through the issuance of a national registration certificate and corporate business, were caught by the process authorities. They took advantage of the weak sentiment of insurance planners facing the performance limitations of individual business, and used high income as a bait to advertise unfairly.
The Fair Trade Commission announced on the 22nd that it would file a total fine of 28 million won and prosecutors’ prosecution against the corporation and former co-presidents of the Korea Sales Success Engineering Association. Also, for KSSA, a correction order (including an announcement order) and a fine of 12 million won were decided in consideration of the fact that the advertisement was shorter than 3 months.
According to the FTC, Ahn and Yang, former co-CEOs of the Korea Sales Success Engineering Association, were at Naver Cafe from August 23, 2017 to September 2018, and the Korea Sales Success Engineering Association from September 2018 to February 1, 2019. They have advertised their private license’policy finance instructor’ as a’nationally registered policy finance instructor’.

Policy Finance Instructor is the name of the qualification registered by the Korea Institute for Management Research in the Small and Medium Venture Business Department in 2015. In addition, on December 30, 2017, Ahn and Yang advertised through an internet article on December 30, 2017 that their newly established and issued private license’policy fund working consultant’ as a’nationally registered policy fund working consultant certification education institution’.
Policy Fund Working Consultant is the name of the qualification registered by the former Korea Sales Success Engineering Association in 2017 by the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Communication.
The Fair Trade Commission believes that consumers have abused the fact that consumers cannot easily distinguish between national and private licenses based on the name of the license. According to the Enforcement Decree of the Framework Act on Qualifications, if the word registration is used in the name of an administrative agency’s license, it must be written as’registered private license’ instead of’national registration’ so that consumers do not misunderstand it.
Not only that. There have also been advertisements stating that “Achieving high profits in a short period of time with A’s business,” “Lecture on how to easily collect a large amount of truth DB,” and “The secret of corporate business using policy funds to become A”.
However, Mr. Ahn, Yang, and corporations were unable to submit proof data, such as cases of becoming MDRT members or billion-year salaries among students, in relation to the advertisement as if anyone could achieve high profits in a short period of time.
MDRT members stands for Million Dollar Round Table, a group of high-income planners in the insurance industry around the world. Membership registration is possible only after earning an annual premium of over 180 million won or a commission of over 73 million won.
In addition, it advertised that it teaches you the secret to easily mass-collect genuine DB, but concealed the fact that the DB collection method could be subject to fines. Intrinsic DB refers to a list of customer information that is likely to contract. It is a violation of the Personal Information Protection Act to collect personal information such as e-mail addresses without the consent of users who visited cafes or blogs with a DB extraction program.
As if there was a’secret of corporate business that used policy funds to become a head’, the act of advertising was viewed as excessively inflated advertising. Among the corporate business methods, Baekbaek Dream offers free consultation advertisements for government policy fund support through banners installed around industrial complexes where small and medium-sized enterprises are concentrated, and AlphaGo Marketing offers free consultation advertisements for government policy funding through advertisements sent without the consent of the recipient. It is a price for doing.
The corporate business method of receiving a fee or inducing insurance product subscription is difficult to see as a special secret, and Article 50, Paragraph 1 of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communication Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc.and the Outdoor Advertising Industry Promotion Act. He said it was a violation of Article 3.
In addition, it is explained that the act of inducing insurance products and receiving fees from insurance companies in exchange for policy fund consulting was not informed of the fact as’unfair third-party intervention’.
“This measure is an unfair advertising act that induces property damage and unfair gains by inducing national qualifications and short-term high income as bait,” said Yeon Gyu-seok, head of the Daejeon Regional Fair Trade Office. It will be an opportunity to provide correct information on the effectiveness of education.”
The Fair Trade Commission announced on the 22nd that it would file a fine of 28 million won and prosecution against the corporation and former co-presidents of the Korea Sales Success Engineering Association, Ahn Mo and Yang Mo. Also, for KSSA, a correction order (including an announcement order) and a fine of 12 million won were decided in consideration of the fact that the advertisement was shorter than 3 months.
