Whether it’s for Hari Raya, Chinese New Year, Deepavali or even Christmas, it’s always fun (and sometimes stressful) to go shopping for the holiday season.
Spending money for the holidays can hurt your wallet a bit though but it can hurt a lot more if the one spending your money was not even you. This man got caught using someone else’s ATM card to pay for his expensive items.

Recently, Twitter user @isusemasaviral shared a series of photos of a mall’s CCTV footages showing a man purchasing items using someone else’s ATM card via payWave. The original owner of the ATM card is a woman name Haziqa Asyiqin who was also the one that shared these photos via @isusemasaviral.
Haziqa accidentally left her card at the ATM machine but recognised the man who stole it from the CCTV footages as he was the one queueing behind her. She had no intention of disgracing the man but needed help from netizens in order to get him to return her ATM card. The man apparently has been spending her money to buy expensive items for his wife.
The original card owner even shared screenshots of transactions to show just how much the man was spending using her money. The screenshots as well as CCTV footages showed that the man shopped at expensive brands such as Zara, UNIQLO and Charles & Keith.

With the help of @isusemasaviral and netizens for making her story go viral, the case of the stolen card has been resolved. Haziqa posted on her Facebook page to update everyone that her ATM card was returned to her and that the man has paid back all the money he spent using her card.
However, the incident has made some people worried that this might happen to them since you have the option to use your ATM cards via payWave instead of the usual pin number. One netizen shared a way to prevent someone from using your payWave but this may not apply to all banks. To know more on how to disable or limit your payWave, do contact your respective banks.
