I have recently been using an Oyster card I found, to purchase weekly travel cards. Yesterday I was stopped by a southern train inspector who revealed to me that it is fare evasion to use someone else’s card regardless of if iam buying travel cards on it. He also revealed to me that it is a registered card and a photo must be presented with it.
Despite me explaining that I simply found it and started using it. He took my details and then told me I will get a letter in the post from investigators.
I am worried about getting a criminal record for this. He didn’t take the card or issue any papers.
Can some please give advice?
