With admonitions for streaming offenses, obviously, can make a lot of money. After the abducted Redtube warnings of the Regensburg firm Urmann + Collegen as well as the fake warnings of a London law firm named Robert Barber follows another case. This time, as with the current letters, it is fraud.
In contrast to previously, the warnings reach users by e-mail (subject: "Important!"), Use real carnival names as sender and pretend to act on behalf of the streaming sites Youporn, Pornhub, Redtube and XNXX. But this is not enough: In the e-mails for the allegedly illegal streaming of videos is required a warning fee of astonishingly low 25 euros, which the user should also transfer by bitcoins.
In several places, the informed Internet user notes that this is a fraud. The warning fees are too low. As a rule, pimping lawyers' expenses of this type already amount to at least three-digit amounts. In addition, streaming providers would not allow their users to vote. In the normal case, a copyright holder is found behind his warnings, who illegally publishes his protected works.
Lesetipp: warning - what to do?
Finally, users should be suspicious if a warning fee is to be paid via Bitcoins. One advantage of this virtual currency is that recipients are allowed to remain anonymous. No serious service provider would insist on a payment via bitcoins.
Users might doubt fraud, since the supposed sender of the emails are real law firms. For example "Jun Rechtsanwälte" from Würzburg or "MS Concept" from Waiblingen. These law firms are popular with the accused. Correspondingly, the responsible people are concerned that their name falls in the context of fraudulent mass dismissals. "MS Concept" announced that it was "proceeding with all its decisiveness" against the "slanderous and blatant identity flaw."
