A couple in Malaysia used a missing credit car that they found and went on a shopping spree, but later returned it to the owner after being exposed online, according to China Press.
Guang Ming Daily reported that the owner of the missing credit card, had lost his wallet at a restaurant in Setapak Kuala Lumpur on 17 March.
He didn’t even realise that his wallet had been missing until 2 days later, because he had been relying on his mobile phone to make payments for things, as well as spending a whole day moving to a new home.
When he went to check his credit card bills online, he realised that his credit card had been used several times on 17 March and 18 March.
The man then lodged a police report as well as reaching out to the bank to free the usage of his credit card, as well as retracing his steps and going back to the shops where his credit card was fraudulently used, and retrieved the CCTV footage of the people using his card.
He then found out that it was a young couple who had found his credit card and used it to fund their own shopping spree.
The couple was seen in the CCTV footage shopping, with the boyfriend standing at the side while the girlfriend used the man’s missing credit card to pay for their items, before leaving the shop with a huge bag of goods.
Angry at the couple, he uploaded photos of the couple online and asked netizens online for help to identify the couple.
It worked to a tee and the post then went supremely viral online, even catching the couple’s attention.
The couple then decided to return the man his wallet and compensate him with the money that they spent with his card after receiving intense pressure and backlash from the public.
