Walter “Waldi” Lehnertz (56) is one of the veterans of the ZDF junk show “Bares for Rares”. With his 80-euro bids, the 56-year-old became a cult junk dealer. The TV dealer, who runs an antique shop in the Eifel, is not only on the ZDF show, but is also in touch with his fans via Instagram and Facebook. Now he reported in a social media video with shocking news.
“Bares for Rares”: Unbelievable! Waldi is being blackmailed
Because the cult dealer is blackmailed nasty. What’s going on in the Eifel? In an Instagram video, Waldi now enlightens his fans. Apparently his Facebook account was hacked. As Waldi and his partner have now noticed, he probably even received an e-mail with money demands.
The first problem with this is that the e-mail is in English – a language that the 56-year-old speaks more than badly, as he himself admits: “The little bit of school English that I still remember, you won’t get a liter in England Bought more milk.” A fact he can live with, he goes on to say.

But what drives him crazy is the “Spacko, who hacked my site.” His partner noticed this when looking through the e-mails. In the video he explains the hacker’s perfidious plan: “My lady told me that Spacko wants 1,800 euros and then he wants to clear my page again.”

But he did not reckon with the junk dealer, who is known for his rough, loving nature. In the video he addresses the blackmailer directly: “If you want to negotiate with me, you have to learn German first because I don’t speak English!” He doesn’t have to go to the police either, explains Waldi calmly. Because “the (hackers, editor’s note) are hanging everywhere with 50 servers and so on,” suspects the 56-year-old.

But he doesn’t give the blackmailer any hope of the long-awaited money. In front of the camera he makes it clear: “But until you’ve learned German, I can already tell you: You won’t get a cent from Waldi! In that sense – Goodbye, you Spacko.” A stage-ready mic-drop response. Observant fans could have heard him drop his imaginary mic if he had one. But his hacker diss deserves a big appearance. Because Waldi always masters a dramatic exit.
