New card scam

Hi, just wanted to warn everyone about a new scam. Found a bank card in the street, still valid so tried to call the bank but they were massively busy on their phone lines. But look, on the back was a number to call if found, and yes, that was the scam! I presume they either charge a heavy per minute call charge or try and get your bank details to raid your account. Fortunately my mobile showed the number as dodgy and this was confirmed by a website so I didn't hang about, cut them off and blocked.
Have to say this scam really pissed me off, the only people who would get caught were the ones trying to do the decent thing

Shock Scumbags. So awful.

I know @HazelandChacha, it was a very clever scam so I didn't feel too daft for falling for it but it left me feeling really annoyed. There's enough stress and tension in the world at the moment, how low are these people?

Thanks for the warning. The best thing to do if you find a bank card is either to hand it into the bank or to securely dispose of it.
