Campaign against fake data requests

There is currently an unpleasant parallel development in connection with traffic and accident hotspots in Germany. Among other things, there are fake cover letters in circulation that supposedly come from the Federal Statistical Office and demand data reporting for a supposed study on international economic relations. Legal action is threatened if the requested data is not received. The relevant warning from the Federal Statistical Office makes it clear that these cover letters are not authentic and that no such studies are carried out.

It is recommended to ignore such requests as they do not come from official bodies.
