Lost wallet containing 13 bank cards, found in an extremely spectacular way
Early in the morning, Mr. Hiep received an SMS message from MBBank informing him of a transaction of 1 million VND from 1 of the 13 lost cards. The place where the card was found to be used was identified as a fabric shop in Thanh Cong residential area (Hanoi)...
At around 9:00 p.m. on September 22, 2016, on the way from Thanh Cong B Primary School to the Government Cipher Department Residential Area at 107 Nguyen Chi Thanh (Hanoi), Mr. Bui Duc Hiep said he lost a leather wallet containing some personal documents and a bank card...
Although he tried every possible way to find his wallet, including posting on his personal Facebook page and asking his friends to share, Mr. Hiep could not have expected to receive his wallet so quickly and in the most unexpected way.
Mr. Bui Duc Hiep said, “In my wallet there were 13 bank cards of various types. I immediately called the banks to notify them to block the cards, leaving only 1 visa card from MBBank, in which there was about 9 million VND. The purpose was to “bait” if someone swiped the card to buy something.”
As Mr. Hiep predicted, early in the morning of September 23, Mr. Hiep received an SMS message from MBBank informing him of a transaction of 1 million VND. The MBBank Card Center also called to say that they had discovered someone using the card to make a transaction of 1 million VND by swiping the card at BIDV's POS machine.
With the cooperation of the two banks, the location of the card swipe was identified as a fabric store in Thanh Cong residential area (Hanoi). The bank then worked with the cardholder and the card swiper to retrieve the lost items.
