Criminals have been putting a lot of energy into their schemes lately, as a recent phishing attempt shows. In this case, the target is users of GMX-Mail. Criminals want to get the login data with a fake email and even went to the trouble of replicating the entire homepage of the mail provider.
The fake email
This is what the email currently circulating looks like:

The email says:
“Hello CUSTOMER,
This is confirmation that your request will be processed on September 20, 2022.
to permanently delete your account. If this request was not made by you. Please follow the instructions to secure your account. Please use the GMX website below to secure your account.
[Update account here]
* Ignore Your account will be permanently disabled.
How the forgery of the GMX email can already be recognized
- The recipient is “undisclosed-recipients”, so the same email goes to an unknown number of users
- Salutation is without name, just “CUSTOMER”
- The text contains several spelling errors (period instead of comma, lower case after period, crooked grammar)
Such characteristics should already be a warning signal! If in doubt, it is better to go directly to the GMX main page and log in there to check whether everything is OK with the account or whether there is really a risk of deletion.
The recreated homepage
If you click on the link in the email, you will be taken to a deceptively real GMX homepage - the fake can only be recognized directly by the URL.

The real URL is “gmx.net”, but the fake one above starts with “erethismic-comfort.000webhostapp.com/”.
Tip: If in doubt, simply enter fantasy data as your login. If the login still seems to work, it is a fake site!
If the real data is now entered on the fake site, the login data is immediately sent to criminals, who can now use the GMX account in a variety of ways, for example to send spam emails. Even worse: If the emails also contain login details for other sites, the criminals can also take them over.
So if you have entered your data on such a site, you should change your password and the password of other sites as quickly as possible, if still possible!
