Some Pakistanis hacked into the KLM reimbursement system via two “companies” that operate in places like Nigeria, Kenya and India, calling themselves “Lemfi” and “World Remit.” They claimed to want to reimburse us, but immediately tried to debit the card instead. Upon checking, they are known for hacking into bank accounts and emptying them. Wonderful characters.
