Letter from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Domain Administrator

Hello!

I recently received an email to the address that was used to register my domain (sent from vsavkin6@mvd.de).

Despite checking with my host and neamcheap, there were no reports of any violations and I didn't notice anything suspicious.

If anyone has encountered a similar situation, please share your experience regarding the authenticity of the letter, potential consequences, and reasons for receiving it.

I should also mention that the email referenced the domain "gdzvip.de" while mine is "gdz-vip.de." Although both domains exist, mine uses a hyphen and all other details are correct. Does this mean they won't be able to make any claims against me?

I'm not sure if I should respond to the email or if it's a potential scam. The situation is quite confusing, and I would greatly appreciate any assistance or guidance.

You have received a letter which you may choose not to answer, though it is recommended that you refrain from upsetting the uniformed personnel and inconvenience them into meeting you in person. Depending on your level of audacity or intiмidation, here are some possible ways to respond:

1. Wait for dissatisfied calls and visitors, as they are entitled to demand information from you as per the Law "On Police," and you are obligated to comply.

2. Contact employee Katkov and inform them of the mistake with the domain name and that you cannot administer the requested domain. You can then ask what domain they actually meant while offering to accept the corrected request in person. Meanwhile, inquire over the phone about the matter at hand, as it is unlikely that they would make any direct allegations if you were suspected of an offense. Most likely, they only require IP addresses of site users, which an admin like you could provide. If I were in their shoes, I would have called you directly about administration and make a request for the necessary information.

3. You can simply reply stating that you do not have administrative control over the domain in question.

4. In addition to number 3, you can call Katkov afterwards to let them know that you have already sent a response but that they have likely made an error with the domain name. You can also inform them that you cannot officially provide false information.

Personally, I would recommend option 2 since it offers a possible solution to the situation.

P.S.: It would have been ideal to make such a call today, given that it is a professional holiday and most people are in a good mood. Unfortunately, this opportunity was lost.

Have you checked the letter's properties before writing here?)))

I'm pretty sure the real sender is not associated with mevede.

However, THEY wouldn't send such letters through mail because they prioritize control, and they can't monitor emails effectively.

Imagine forgetting or losing your email password - it's not a crime, but what do you do next?

Perhaps, as someone suggested, you would run to the doorbell without looking through the peephole.

Do you answer every call that comes your way?

By the way, calling back an unknown number could result in significant charges per minute. This advice was given by someone above, who is also quite clever))

As technology evolves, so do the methods used by cybercriminals. It's essential to remain vigilant and cautious when dealing with any suspicious messages or calls.

This dоcument seems to be peculiar, particularly the seal labeled "for packages." What does this even mean?

Furthermore, the seal itself doesn't seem to serve any protective function, and it appears that someone could easily photoshop it. Who would even send such a dоcument through e-mail? It should either be sent through regular mail or by a courier service with delivery notification if it's urgent.

Lastly, it might be wise to verify the signature of the sender, but without access to the original dоcument, it's difficult to do so.

The fact that it references a similar domain without a hyphen is a classic tactic used by scammers to confuse and intiмidate. If there were real violations, your host would notify you directly. You should ignore this email entirely.
Responding could lead to unnecessary complications or further harassment. Protect your assets by staying vigilant and reporting suspicious communications to your registrar.
