What do the wrong e-mails and calls from the BKA want?

The Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) enjoys trust among the population. So who would doubt the truth of a phone call or email from the Office? Fraudsters are currently taking advantage of this, which the BKA also warns of. GIGA gives the facts.

There comes a call from Wiesbaden and the BKA answers at the other end – that is extraordinary enough. If the identity card number is checked, the ordinary citizen obeys. If an email comes from the BKA, it looks similar. But in both cases it is fakes!
