Tim Cameron, a product manager at Transfer Wise was cycling home from work on October 14 when he lost his wallet. Given that the wallet did not contain enough documents to help identify him, he had almost given up hopes of getting it back.

However, to the surprise of the London resident, not only did a good Samaritan return it to him but by the time he got it back, he had money credited to his bank account.

The 30-year-old was checking his account balance to make sure no one has siphoned off his money, when he noticed that his bank account was actually credited with money. To be precise, four consecutive bank transfers for one penny each were made.

All the transactions came with incomplete sentences, which when put together, read: “Hi, I found your wallet on the road.” A contact number was also mentioned in the message along with a side note requesting Cameron to make a call or text on the coordinates.
