“Data abuse ensures that Germany tickets are blocked in NRW-measures for those affected”

The municipal transport company Lippe (KVG Lippe) is affected, in which numerous new registrations are suspected.
measures in dealing with affected tickets
The consequences of abuse are far -reaching, since about half of the affected accounts had to book money for a Germany ticket, even though they did not want to buy a ticket. In response to this, the KVG Lippe has blocked all tickets that were purchased using SEPA direct debit. A refund of the money should take place in the coming days. However, the "real" buyers are also affected by this measure.
Similar fraud cases occur in transport companies throughout Germany, but no further cases are currently known in North Rhine-Westphalia. Police commissioner Yannick Thelaner confirmed this on request.Support for affected customers
Those whose tickets have been incorrectly blocked can report to the KVG Lippe information to unlock their accounts. For customers who have been debited money for a Germany ticket without acquiring one, there is the option of filing a complaint online from the police.
