Criminals pose as BKA - Office warns of dangerous fraud. BKA had already warned about such emails in November 2023.

The emails are “probably an attempt to spy out data for the purpose of committing further crimes” In the police criminal statistics (PKS), the cases are subsumed under the general crime code “fraud” (code number 510,000). However, since there is no separate breakdown according to a specific fraud phenomenon, the BKA does not have exact numbers of cases, victims and damages for fraud offenses.
