New scam with 'lost' bank cards emerges in Belarus

A new scam involving 'lost' bank cards has emerged in Belarus. Scammers leave a card near an ATM or terminal and wait for someone to pick it up. Then, a person pretending to be the 'owner' appears with 'witnesses,' accuses the finder of stealing money, and demands compensation. If you find a lost card, do not touch it. Contact security or report it to the police at 102.
