There is a dubious piece of news making the rounds at the moment

We received inquiries about a very strange message sent via WhatsApp:

2018-05-25_08_35_11-WhatsApp__DFB_Pokal_Hammer!_-_Windows_Live_Writer
Image in plain text:

DFB Cup Hammer, The game Bayern Munich – Eintracht Frankfurt will be rescheduled due to several game-deciding wrong decisions.
The DFB announced this in an emergency meeting this morning.
The catch-up date should be set today.

Then there is a link that you should probably follow - but stop!

The link looks a bit strange and careful users know that you shouldn't just follow every link, so we at mimikama took on this brave task and lo and behold:

Hammer right!?

It's all just fun!

The link leads to a photo that shows you “the nose”! The message is intended to make others curious and to make fun of them!

Oh yes, if only all dubious news on the Internet consisted of entertaining jokes... but then we wouldn't have anything to do anymore...Winking smiley

So the following still applies: think first, then click!
