I highly suggest you read up on how to spot fake emails. This one is hilariously bad and you really should be able to see that.
What kind of package would you be expecting from the ministry of traffic. Rule of thumb: if you get an E-Mail regarding your packages without you having ordered something the day before it’s 100% phishing. If it’s a E-Mail from any German ministry asking for data or to press a link it’s 100% scam. We don’t do that here, we sent snail mail
Fake!
Phishing. The first hint is “hallo” which is never written in anything official. You would always get Sehr geehrte/r…
Second is the fact they sent you an email. In Germany I go by the rule of if it is real, official and important it will come per Post and never per Email.
Phishing.
If Germany actually *had* a ministry for Digital infrastructure, we wouldn’t have to live in this 1990’s apocalyptic nightmarish world of an administration that still uses Fax as their main medium of communication, practice non-existing wireless data networks south of Cologne all the way to Basel, and a complete lack of reasonably priced internet access.
So, since nobody gave a shot about Germany’s digital development in the last 25 years, by exclusion, there cannot be such a ministry, and they can’t have send you a legit bill via email.
Now if it would have arrive via Telex, that would be much more probable. /s
phishing of course. Apart from the obvious stuff: No federal office would send you an email with centered text. 🙂
There are some grammatical issues (one spelling mistake: “warte” there is missing a “n” at the end; missing dots at the end of the sentences.
Additionally according to the curious sender adress ITS PHISHING
The centered formatting made me vomit a little
Somebody apparently thinks that the BMVI delivers parcels.
This particular mail is ridiculously easy to spot as a phishing attempt, but there are a few more convincing ones circulating. And people get scammed by the obvious fakes all the time.
This is why I strongly advocate “netizenship” lessons in schools, with subjects like “How to read e-mail headers”.
Definitely real, everything makes so much sense!
Webinarjam is a Software I used when working with automated webinars. The sender email adress would be used when sending out planned marketing emails to someone who opted in to receiving said emails.
Tldr; nothing to worry about
Facepalm…*sigh*
Everybody already pointed out the email address but what’s also important: No company DHL, UPS, Deutsche Post, etc. will even consider taking your parcel without someone paying the “Porto” beforehand
Would immediately call Andi Scheuer and tell him that he can take his 1,20€ from your cold dead hands.

Phishing
Look at the email address of the sender LOL
Really? The sender email address doesn’t look fishy to you?
100% a phishing mail 🙂
Phishing. And why would the ministry of traffic and digital infrastructure send you a package anyways? Including spelling mistakes.

>[…] das auf Zahlung **warte**
