VARO Entertainment, the agency representing actor Byeon Woo Seok, issued a warning about a recent scam where fraudsters are pretending to be company personnel to deceive individuals. The scammers pretend to be artist managers and contact small businesses, requesting upfront payments for items like wine under the guise of company events. Once the payment is made, they vanish, causing financial losses to the victims.

The agency stressed that their employees or representatives never ask for money transfers or product purchases. They emphasized that such requests are unauthorized and illegal. VARO Entertainment assured that they are taking legal actions to deal with the situation and advised the public to be cautious and confirm the identity of anyone claiming to be associated with their company.

They urged people receiving suspicious requests to report them promptly to prevent further harm.
