On the 25th, JTBC's 'Case Manager' introduced the story of owner A, who runs a raw fish restaurant in Incheon. A said, "At around 5:40 PM on the 16th, a man took food to go, and later at around 9:30 PM, a family visited the restaurant to dine," adding that he received consecutive calls from both the 'takeout customer' and the 'dining customer' saying that their spouses had fallen ill.

Startled, A apologized and promised to handle the insurance, but the two customers posted photos of the restaurant's tables, interior, and kitchen online and left negative reviews. While checking their reviews, A found something suspicious. Both customers described the restaurant as having a "smell of earth." A found it odd that two customers who visited on the same day and complained of food poisoning used the same unique expression.

Moreover, comparing with CCTV footage, photos taken by the 'takeout customer' appeared in the 'dining customer's' review, and the 'dining customer's' review, who visited after sunset, included photos of the restaurant exterior taken during the daytime. Additionally, the last digits of the 'takeout customer's' spouse's phone number matched those of the 'dining customer,' raising further suspicion. When A questioned the dining customer, they dismissed it, saying they did not know the takeout customer.

A explained, "It seems they approached with the intention of claiming insurance money from the beginning," adding, "Both customers showed photos of medical certificates and prescriptions for the food poisoning, so I filed insurance claims, and the insurance company has requested a police investigation."

Netizens who saw this reacted with comments such as "Their behavior is very suspicious," "If the report turns out to be true, they should be severely punished," and "The truth has not yet been revealed, but we should always live honestly."
