Fraudsters pose as the Berlin police, Europol and Interpol and intimidate consumers.
The emails with subjects like “Summons to appear in court” “Crimea/VER/REG/SUMMONS/No. 07006…-Important” “Guarantee of legal prosecution” “Convocation_No. 42/0021 / SDPJ / Subject: CHARGE!” contain a PDF file that is enriched with various logos of various European police authorities and Interpol, as well as various stamps and signatures, to appear serious. Occasionally, authority names, logos, stamps, signatures and names appear to be randomly mixed or invented.

Supposedly the recipient should report back by email and comment on the allegations mentioned in the email. You would have committed a crime (including cyber pornography, child pornography, pedophilia, online masturbation, exhibitionism, online contracting and the sexual blackmail site Pornograhique...) [Note: The spelling was taken from the emails with errors there]. The spelling and the incorrect use of the relevant authorities, logos and legislation for Germany suggests that the perpetrators could be with a French background/French language.
Anyone who does not report within the stated deadline would have to expect further measures, including publication of personal data, creation of a report, etc. This way, family members and friends could also find out about the crime. Feedback should then be sent, for example, to directioneurpl@gmail.com.
These emails are fake and do not come from the authorities mentioned.
If you have received such an email, please do not open the attachment and/or do not send any personal data back to the email addresses listed there . If you have complied with the fake request, inform your local police station and, if necessary, file a report.
Never send copies of your ID to unknown people! Furthermore, there may be requests for payment after contacting us. Do not comply with any payment requests! Be careful when you receive such emails. There is also always the risk of malware being sent as an attachment.
Should I reply to this email?
No, absolutely not. This fake email does not come from the police, but from criminals. Once you respond, you confirm to the criminals that your email address exists. As a result, you can expect to be asked for a large amount of money.
How do I know it's a scam?
- Email addresses: Look closely at the sender's email address. You should also reply to an AOL address. These are not official police email addresses.
- Missing salutation: If there is no salutation and you are only addressed with a “Hello” or “Dear Madam, Dear Sir”, you can assume that the letter was sent en masse to countless people.
- Different forms of address: Sometimes you're called "Dutz", sometimes you're called Siez.
- No specific description of the crime: You are accused of a crime. But what exactly it is is not explained - i.e. when, what, where was consumed or shared.
- Time pressure and numerous threats: Writing creates pressure to respond immediately. If you don't respond within 48 hours, an arrest warrant will allegedly be issued for you. “Your file” will also be passed on to the media and you will be publicly exposed.
- Punishment without a hearing: You will be punished without a hearing or personal testimony. This is not an official procedure!
- Incomplete sentences, translation errors: Pay attention to the spelling. There are incomplete sentences, various terminology and some of the grammar is incorrect.
No official authority sends such documents!
