Dear Friends,
Be careful how you list names on your cell phone! Be Safe!
This lady has changed her habit of how she lists her names on her mobile
phone after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag which contained her
mobile phone, Credit card, purse...etc..... was stolen.
20 minutes later when she called her Hubby, from a pay phone telling him
what had happened. Hubby says 'I've just received your sms text asking
about our Pin number. I replied a little while ago.'
They rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was
already withdrawn. The pickpocket had actually used the stolen hand
phone to text 'hubby' in the contact list and got hold of the pin
number. Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from the bank
account.
The lesson:
Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people in your
contact list.. Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, sweetheart, Sayang......Dad, Mum, wife, son , etc.......
And very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked thru texts,
CONFIRM by calling back.
Also, when you're being texted by friends or family to meet them
somewhere, be sure to call back to confirm that the message came from
them. If you don't reach them, be very careful about going places to
meet 'family and friends' who text you
