Korean online business owners complained in July about problems with online advertising fraud and created the Online Advertisers Association to lobby their case.

Last month, prosecutors arrested a owner of a flower delivery business for fraud:

According to prosecutors, Jeong had received 2 million won ($1,572) per month since January 2006 from four other florists in exchange for the illegal clicks.

They said that Jeong had ramped up his clicking during the peak seasons for flower businesses: Parents’ Day, Christmas Day and Valentine’s Day.
