Facebook: Please do not accept the contact “Ute Lehr”. ?

And it doesn't stop and there's no end. A certain UTE LEHR is still on Facebook and is up to mischief.

Note: The virus with the name “Ute Lehr”, which “eats” its way through the contact list and supposedly destroys the hard drive, is just a chain letter or hoax that has been shared again on Facebook in the past few days.
And again we are receiving information from readers about an alleged virus that is spreading via WhatsApp and Facebook and destroying the hard drive.
The reason is the masses of shared Facebook status posts and WhatsApp messages, which unsettle the recipients!

What is it about exactly?

It's about a chain letter that has been making the rounds on Facebook for years. In fact, since 2011 .

It all started with Moritz Häupl:

DANGER!!!
Someone who calls himself Moritz Häupl sends friends requests to children here on FB. Pretends to be a 12-year-old, but is actually a 48-year-old pedophile! ! ! He is known to the police, so please be careful!!!!!!!!!PLEASE COPY AND FORWARD!!!!!!!!!!!

August 2011

It continued with the name: Christian Wick. In August 2011, a Facebook user published the following status post:

Please tell everyone on your list not to accept Christian Wick It destroys your hard drive and takes down the data. If one of your contacts catches him, you will also be affected because he will eat his way through the list, so copy that and put it on your wall.

September 2012

In September 2012 there was another status post and Christian Wick became Marcel Hohmann:

Please tell all the people on your list not to accept contact with Marcel Hohmann , it's a virus (via Facebook, etc.) that destroys the entire hard drive and pulls down the data. If one of your contacts catches it, it's you also affected because he eats his way through the list!

October 2013

Another status post is making the rounds. This looks like this:

Please tell all the people on your list not to accept Marcel Hohmann This is a virus (via Facebook, etc.) that destroys the entire hard drive and downloads the data. If one of your contacts catches it, you will also be affected because it eats its way through the list! So copy and send! If the number 065420164 calls you, don't answer it! Is a hacker and all your contacts will be affected too! It was also confirmed EUROP1 and RTL Forward!

If you now read through all the status posts one after the other, you will see that the last one (October 2013) is a combination of the previous status posts.

April / May 2014

The Facebook hoax finally ends up on “WhatsApp”.
The WhatsApp message in full:

Please tell everyone on your list not to accept Marcel Hohmann” This is a virus (via WhatsApp, etc.) that destroys the entire hard drive and downloads the data. If one of your contacts catches it, you will also be affected because it eats its way through the list! so copy and send””!!! If the number 065420164 calls you, don't answer it! Is a hacker and all your contacts will be affected too! It was also confirmed EUROP1 and RTL Forward!

October 2014

Now “Marcel Hohmann” suddenly became “Domenik Beuting”:

Please tell everyone on your list not to accept Domenik Beuting This is a virus (via WhatsApp, etc.) that destroys the entire hard drive and downloads the data. If one of your contacts catches it, you will also be affected because it eats its way through the list! so copy and send!!! If the number 065420164 calls you, don't answer it! Is a hacker and all your contacts will be affected too! It was also confirmed EUROP1 and RTL Forward!

July 2015

Moritz Häupl , Marcel Hohmann , Christian Wick and Domenik Beuting suddenly became Ute Christoff:

January 2017

And Ute Christoff now became Ute Lehr!
All these alleged viruses with different names that “eat through” the contact lists and supposedly destroy the hard drives are just chain letters or hoaxes. There is absolutely no truth to the claims; The attack on the hard drive is just as out of thin air as the confirmations from EUROP1 and SAT1.
