Here are some more fake sites pretending to be the Bundeskriminalamt and Bundespolizei (agencies of the German Federal Police) which are probably worth blocking, following on from these.
193.105.240.204 [Sia Vps Hosting, Latvia]
bundespolizei-de.net
bundespolizei-de.org
bundespolizei-online.com
dpolg-bundespolizei.org
inter-bundeskriminalamt.org
77.87.229.14 [Invalid pointer to bundespolizei.de]
inter-bundeskriminalamt.eu
dpolg-bundespolizei.org [also on 193.105.240.204]
inter-bundeskriminalamt.org [also on 193.105.240.204]
211.154.153.49 [China Motion Network Communication]
agentbundeskriminalamt.net
bundeskriminalamtde.net
onlinebundeskriminalamt.net
torrentbundeskriminalamt.net
Note that 77.87.229.14 is actually the real IP for bundespolizei.de, but the scammers are pointing their DNS records to it, presumably to cause confusion.
You can safely block access to 193.105.240.0/24 (Sia VPS) without much fear of losing anything important. The Chinese netblock is more mixed, but blocking at least 211.154.153.49 might be a good idea if you are in Germany.

Some fake Bundeskriminalamt and Bundespolizei sites
Labels:

Latvia
bundespol.com is not the Bundespolizei
Another fake Bundespolizei today, bundespol.com is registered through a Chinese registrar and then is anonymised through a Chinese WHOIS privacy service
The site doesn't resolve yet, but it is almost identical to bundespol.net which is fingered in this attack. In that case, the fake Bundespolizei site was hosted on 188.229.97.2 which is Netserv Consult SRL in Romania (incidentally, blocking 188.229.0.0/17 will probably do you no harm).
There's a whole bunch of fake Bundespolizei at the moment, but I'm guessing that this particular bunch of scammers may well try the same thing in other countries very soon.

bundespolizei-online.com is not the Bundespolizei
bundespolizei-online.com is a fake domain pretending to be the Bundespolizei (German Federal Police). It appears to be part of a malware scam that has been around for a while, where the victim is told that they have done something illegal and need to pay a fine to the police.
The text of the message might vary, but the last scam domain was used in conjunction with a message that read:
A €100 fine for terrorist likes and download child pornography? Obviously this is nonsense, but the victim might well try to pay to get rid of the trojan.
The bundespolizei-online.com is quite interesting to look at. First, there is the WHOIS record:
It looks legitimate enough. T-Systems is the hosting division of Deutsche Telekom, and the email address looks legitimate at first glance.. but wait, it says teiekom.de and not telekom.de which can't be right.
The domain is registered through the Russian registrar Regtime Ltd. The site bundespolizei-online.com is hosted on 193.105.240.204 in Latvia. Latvia is pretty much a hotbed of crime, and the AS12578 block has a pretty bad reputation, and the whole 193.105.240.0/24 range looks quite toxic. As is common with malicious sites such as this, all the mail is handled by Google.
So.. if you see a message soliciting an email reply to bundespolizei-online.com or running on the same website then it is malware, and you should try to disinfect your machine using up-to-date antivirus software, or you could try following the instructions here.
The text of the message might vary, but the last scam domain was used in conjunction with a message that read:

dpolg-bundespolizei.org is not DPolG or the Bundespolizei
DPolG is a staff a association of the German Federal Police (Bundespolizei). So you might expect that dpolg-bundespolizei.org is something to do with the DPolG.. especially when the www.dpolg-bundespolizei.org resolves to 77.87.229.14, which is the same IP address as bundespolizei.de which is the German Federal Police.
But something is very wrong with this domain.Let's start with the WHOIS details:
It's kind of odd that a German police domain should be registered to a person in the UK using a free email address. But what is odder is that the address does not exist. Although there is a Shepherd Street in London, the postcode is not W12 7HF, that's the postcode for Stanlake Road in Hammersmith. Shepherd Street's postcode begins W1J 7Jx in any case, and there's no number 49 on that road (it is approximately the location of the Park Lane Mews Hotel).
Let's check the nameservers:
The next clue is in the MX handlers - these are the servers that handle mail for dpolg-bundespolizei.org:
Something is definitely amiss here, and it wouldn't be the first time that the Bundespolizei name was used for malicious purposes as there has been a recent rash of malware using it. On balance, a domain with a fake UK address registered via a Russian registrar and using Google for mail handling is unlikely to be legitimate. Avoid.

Let's check the nameservers:
Nameself.com is DNS service for Russian registrar WebNames.ru. (aka Regtime Ltd) who are also the domain registrar. Why would the German police use a Russian registrar?Name Server:NS1.NAMESELF.COM
Name Server:NS2.NAMESELF.COM
The next clue is in the MX handlers - these are the servers that handle mail for dpolg-bundespolizei.org:
dpolg-bundespolizei.org MX (Mail Exchanger) Priority: 20 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COMSo, the domain is using Google for mail handling. DPolG use their own mailservers, not Google.
dpolg-bundespolizei.org MX (Mail Exchanger) Priority: 20 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
dpolg-bundespolizei.org MX (Mail Exchanger) Priority: 30 ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM
dpolg-bundespolizei.org MX (Mail Exchanger) Priority: 30 ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM
dpolg-bundespolizei.org MX (Mail Exchanger) Priority: 30 ASPMX4.GOOGLEMAIL.COM
dpolg-bundespolizei.org MX (Mail Exchanger) Priority: 30 ASPMX5.GOOGLEMAIL.COM
dpolg-bundespolizei.org MX (Mail Exchanger) Priority: 10 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
Something is definitely amiss here, and it wouldn't be the first time that the Bundespolizei name was used for malicious purposes as there has been a recent rash of malware using it.
