We warn of a current flood of alleged warnings due to the use of YouPorn in the name of the company Wondo GmbH. These warnings arrive by email and have the subject “Reference number: 10316002088 | “.
The law firm Auer Witte Thiel from Munich is named as the sender, and their address details and German bank details (Commerzbank) can also be found in the email.
At first glance, the email seems shockingly authentic; address details and contact points actually exist. We have already contacted Auer Witte Thiel in writing via the official address on their website and they confirmed to us that these emails are fake! We consider these emails to be very dangerous and therefore issue a warning about the following content:

The email contains several suspicious elements that suggest a malicious forgery.
One of these elements is the reference number 10316002088, which is identical in each of these emails. Another element, those in the know will know, is that there are no costs to be charged when using the YouPorn portal.
Another suspicious element is a link in the source code, which becomes visible when you move the mouse cursor over the implemented email address. Auer Witte Thiel answered us:
Dear Sir or Madam,
thank you very much for your message.
The email you have received does not come from us.
A still unknown third party used our server ID and sent a reminder letter with the wrong content to a large number of addressees unknown to us with identical content. We ask you to ignore or destroy this email and apologize for this inconvenience, which was not caused by us.
Kind regards,
