Ignore the statements that you are alleged to use copyrighted and pornographic material as the same statements are provided almost in every ransomware scam warning.  Those falsified accusations, or rather the user’s illegal actions, are said to have lead to the lock-down of the system and the only way to reclaim access to the system is said to be the payment of the fine imposed.

In different ransomware warnings, the sum of the fine differs, but in the case of Polizei Cybercrime Investigation Department, the user is supposed to pay 100 Euros via Ukash or Paysafecard.
