Fraudsters are currently circulating an increasing number of false e-mail messages. This time, recipients are being threatened with the public prosecutor's office and immediate arrest because child pornography or exhibitionism is being investigated.

When you receive an email from Andreas Holzer, Director of the Federal Criminal Police Office, your alarm bells immediately start ringing. If the letter also accuses you of child pornography, exhibitionism, cyber pornography and sex trafficking, you can quickly lose your nerve.

Threatened with arrest
And that's exactly what the senders want to achieve, because there are brazen fraudsters behind this email. If you do not respond to the accusations within 72 hours, the complaint will be passed on to the public prosecutor's office and an immediate arrest will be made.

It is best to delete the email immediately
"These emails and their content are fictitious, do not be intimidated! These e-mails are not from the police. Do not contact the sender and ignore this attempted scam. Correct procedure: Delete the e-mail and attachment immediately!", the real police make clear.
