In the age of digital communications, we face a new type of fraud made possible by the anonymity of the Internet. These are fake emails that claim to come from the federal police. But what exactly is that? And how can you protect yourself from it? Mimikama, the independent platform for solving internet fraud, provides information and gives important advice.
Mimikama warns: The scam
In recent weeks, concerned citizens have increasingly filed reports reporting suspicious emails. These emails claimed to come from the Federal Police and accused the recipients of various serious crimes - often with a pornographic context.

These frightening emails go hand in hand with threats: If the recipient does not respond to the allegations within a certain period of time, an arrest warrant will be issued or charges will be filed. The fraudsters also threaten to make the alleged crimes public and to inform friends and acquaintances of the victim if there is no response.
The true origin of the emails
The dark side of the coin: Neither the Federal Police nor the Federal Criminal Police Office are the real authors of these emails. It is a sophisticated tactic used by scammers to create fear and force recipients to cooperate. Mimikama strongly advises not to respond to such emails and to ignore possible claims.
The safest way to protect yourself
The best thing to do when you receive such emails is to mark them as spam and delete them. However, there are additional steps you can take to protect your data and privacy:
- Never respond to emails from unknown senders.
- Do not open files of unknown origin or click on links in emails from unknown senders.
- Be vigilant when handling personal information. Do not disclose these lightly, especially in response to unsolicited emails.
What to do if the damage has already occurred?
If there has already been a claim for money or a damaging event, report it immediately to the police station responsible for your area or use the online watchdog. Additionally, it is advisable to keep the suspicious email as evidence.
Conclusion
There are numerous dangers lurking in the digital world and fraudsters are increasingly using clever methods to deceive and harm us. But all is not lost – organizations like Mimikama are working tirelessly to educate and protect us.
The most important thing is to always be vigilant and stay informed. When it comes to suspicious emails or messages, it is better to be careful and ignore them. Always remember: your safety is in your hands!
