“DRAMA: terrible road accidents
I would now just like to report a serious accident that has left many dead and several injured - who are being taken to hospital; maybe there is someone near you. The police ask us to consult and view videos and photos of the victims and see if we know them: https://….”
This is the text that is currently being distributed on Facebook.

First it's traffic accidents (plural), then "I" just want to report a serious accident.
Apart from the poor translation, there is no information here that would make this article appear realistic. The most obvious questions that one would probably ask here are without a doubt: – Where did the accident take place?
– When did the accident happen?
This is also not an official call from the police, as the cryptic link provided here reveals.
What is behind the link?
First you get to a login page that is modeled on the Facebook login:

Here, too, you can see from the URL in the browser bar that you are NOT on Facebook. And why log in? After all, we just read the post on Facebook and were logged in. So, let's enter fantasy data like “blibjdkallkds@skjd.de” and an equally randomly typed password. - And lo and behold! It works. We don't get any error message.
If you are not sure whether the login request really comes from Facebook, try “logging in” with such imaginary data. If it works, this is confirmation that there is no real comparison with existing user data, but that this page is only there to access your login data!
Phishing and malware
If you actually enter your Facebook login details here, the first point goes to the fraudsters behind this site. Your login details are now in their hands. But that wasn't all in this case.
First you see a page where you are asked to continue clicking in different languages:

If you comply with this request, our antivirus system will be alarmed and warn us about “potentially unwanted content”.
Here you will be directed to a download page where you should install a browser extension in order to continue.
Conclusion
You should be suspicious from the outset of reports that are not published by official authorities and involve calls for witnesses or assistance after accidents. If the information is as inaccurate as in this text, one can assume that there is no official call behind it.
Such reports appear from time to time. Train accidents , plane crashes and even traffic accidents are invented to steal people's personal data.
Therefore, always check whether there is any truth to the story. The more spectacular it sounds, the greater the likelihood that fraudsters are at work - as in this case: This traffic accident is fictitious!
