We continually receive a lot of inquiries about the “POLIZEIMELDUNGEN.COM” site. We reported on this site years ago.

Before we get into this page, we would first like to deal with the following case, about which we received countless inquiries:

Facebook users want to know if this boy is really missing.

YES, that's true!

On August 20, 2016, the police in Leer were informed that an eight-year-old boy was missing from a facility in Moormerland. According to previous police investigations, the boy, Vesko N., left the facility where he had been placed after being taken into care by a youth welfare office on his bicycle around 11:00 a.m. and has not yet returned there. ( Source )

as well as

There is a suspicion that the boy may have been illegally returned to the family by his parents. No information has yet been provided as to the whereabouts of the child or his parents. The possibility of the boy being taken to other European countries cannot be ruled out. The investigation into this is ongoing. ( Source )

Now to the police reports.com page Sad smiley

What does this site do? We first reported in 2014. Even back then, things weren't going right here. ( Continue reading )

First of all, we would like to mention that this is NOT A POLICE SIDE. What surprises us is that you can easily purchase a domain like “Police Reports”?!

In reality, this site does nothing other than COPY TEXT from other sites on the Internet, such as daily newspapers, and then publish them on its own site. And this, however, illegally.

But that is not the main issue. In other words, we don't want to address the issue of copyright at this point, because the daily newspapers have to / should take care of this themselves.

At this point we would like to point out a trap!

As soon as a user types the article from Police Reports.com via smartphone (not the desktop version), the user is repeatedly lured to dubious competition sites and subscription traps.

We get these tips from users again and again. Just like this current request:

I just opened a missing person report from an 8-year-old boy on Facebook that came from polizeimeldeen.com. I'm just reading the message when a window opens asking if I'm over 18 years old! I tap yes and a window opens with the alleged prize of an iPhone! You should agree to that! Of course I didn't do that! I closed everything immediately and hope that's the end of the matter! Always these scams - you think you're on the side of the police... Policereports.com

We have checked this!

We tapped the article on our smartphone and were also redirected to a dubious competition:

Screen 1: The status post on Facebook

Screen 2: The report on the website, which is covered by a message

Screen 3: SUBSCRIPTION TRAP!

A notice:

Users can also fall into the trap using the DESKTOP version, as dubious pop-up advertising windows keep appearing in the background.

Conclusion:

Reports published on the Policereports.com website are not fakes. However, this is not a REAL POLICE WEBSITE. Published content was simply copied and pasted 1:1 from media sites. If you as a user tap on the posts via smartphone, you are repeatedly redirected to dubious competition sites and subscription traps. If you click on the posts on the desktop, dubious pop-up advertising windows keep opening in the background. Here too, CAUTION IS REQUIRED!

You can't tell who is hiding behind the page. There is no IMPRINT and no CONTACT OPTION!
