Reuniting with a lost wallet with credit cards, cash, memberships, IDs and so much more intact and safe can surely be a blessing. That's what a London man experienced when he was grieving the loss of his wallet he dropped while cycling back home from work.
Tim Cameron, 30, thought he would never get his wallet back which had little information about him that could be used to trace him. But to his surprise, someone who had found his wallet, came up with an ingenious way to return it to him.
According to the Time, Cameron tried to search his wallet but in vain and decided to check his bank account for any strange activity. He was startled to see that someone had actually transferred made a series of bank transfers, all for just one penny, and each came with a word message which, when pieced together had a message for Cameron. The message read: 'Hi, I found your wallet in the road'. The Good Samaritan provided a phone number and ended with a request to call or text on it.
I just lost my wallet on the way home from work. I didn't have much identifying info in there so a good Samaritan got in touch with my via my... bank account ??The man who found Cameron's wallet had come up with the scheme to send his name and phone number through bank deposit notes. Cameron shared a screenshot of the bank transfers on Twitter and explained that each of the "4x transfers of £0.01" allowed for "a reference up to 18 chars", which is how the helpful stranger, known only as Simon, conveyed his contact information, reported Time.
