Recently, some citizens, patrol officers and street cleaners in Zhengzhou, capital of central China's Henan province, found credit cards on the street with a large sum of money that cannot be withdrawn.

Sun Jizhong, a patrol officer, told local newspaper Dahe Daily that he found an envelope which contains a credit card from the Agricultural Bank of China, and a piece of paper on which the password of the card was written.

He inserted the card in an ATM and found the card had a balance of 300 thousand yuan.

However, the money could not be withdrawn.

After calling the telephone number written on the paper, a man who claimed to be a bank worker said the account had an overdue fee of five thousand yuan. The money can only be withdrawn after the overdue fee is paid.

Mr. Sun is not the only one who has come across cases like this.

Many people in the city have come across cases like this.

The city's patrol team says the cards aim to defraud people of money and warn people to be cautious.
