If you receive a solicitation material from Orient-do Pharmaceutical or if you receive a question or request over the phone from an applicant to purchase Orient-do Pharmaceutical Bonds, please do not respond and hang up immediately.
★"Only people who have received envelopes can purchase bonds" from strangers and businesses. "I was able to apply for corporate bonds under the name of your (consumer)." Requests such as "When there is a phone call asking about the relationship between you (consumer) and me (applicant), please answer me (applicant) as a relative of you (consumer)." It is a scam trick. Never respond to such requests from strangers or businesses, and hang up immediately.
★After responding to such a request, "You (consumer) lending your name and applying for bonds will be a violation and you (consumer) will be arrested." If you are asked to send money or remittance, such as "It's dangerous to take it with you even if you leave money at home, please send it by courier." Talk to the Consumer Affairs Consultation Service (Consumer Affairs Center, etc.) or the police before sending or remitting money.
