My mate Geoff has lost it. There was £75 in it, the cards have been cancelled.
What he really wants are the photos back of sentimental value..

Ta

Ahh, so you're his mate!

Hope the wallet's found and returned...

Thoroughly decent bloke is Geoff and I love chatting to him. Really nice guy.

I hope he finds his wallet and photos.

Well those that know him will appreciate what a true and proper bloke he is. I just hope someone who has founders keepers the £75 has got the bottle to hand the rest of the merchandise behind he bar on Saturday iff not, even better than that. Someone must know somebody

Turns out some numpties have been using his card on contactless, spent £55, the bank have refunded him. If these are Morecambe fans they need a big shake!

Cctv, now police are on to it so good luck

Hope the CC-TV identifies them. If the scum are Morecambe fans I hope they'll get caught and never dare show their face again.

Trouble is, they've probably dumped the wallet & photos by now.

This highlights a problem with having a contactless card. My existing PIN one still has a few more years' life and apparently you can choose not to have a contactless one... sounds a good idea to me!

Hmm... depends upon the risk/convenience I suppose. I've got two accounts, one has a contactless card. When I first got it I didn't think I'd want it or want to use it, but once I got in the habit, it became my payment of choice. Usually if only buying stuff of a lower value, it is when I'm not wanting to hang around. And if it does get stolen or used fraudulently, you get the money back anyway.

My non-contactless card got cloned a few years ago. The bank picked up on it really quickly, but the value of the purchases made in about 12 hours were much bigger.

My contactless card worked while it was still in my pocket. Cancelled it now, wouldnt have one again

I carry 3 contactless cards in my wallet. Confuses any NFC readers enough for none of them to work

Yeah good luck with that. I had over £6000 worth of phones and electronic equipment bought in my name. Reported to the police the exact time and dates of where this was done and they didn't give a shit because 'i wasn't the victim'. If the bank has given the £55 back then it'll likely be the same story, it's the bank that's lost out.
