or phone 0811 02 02 17 for help. Both are handled by a special section of the
police. NOTE: This is not for ordinary consumer disputes that should be handled
by a consumer association or the consumer authority, but for clear or suspected
cases of fraud. See below for those. Neither is this for complaints about spam.
