| *MOBILE PHONES** *
*I never thought of this.......
|
This lady has now changed her habit of how she lists her names on her mobile
phone after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag, which contained her cell
phone, credit card, wallet... Etc...was stolen.*
* |
20 minutes later when she called her hubby, from a pay phone telling him
what had happened, hubby says 'I received your text asking about our Pin
number and I've replied a little while ago.' When they rushed down to the
bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn. The
thief had actually used the stolen cell 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 Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all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 their bank** **account. * |
*Moral of the lesson:** *
*Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people in your
contact list. |
Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart, Dad, Mom, etc.... |
And very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked** **through 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..* |
*
*****PLEASE PASS THIS ON** *
** I never thought about the above!
As of now, I no longer have** **'home' listed on my cell phone**.** |
**
**Even if this does not pertain to you....Pass it on to your family &
friends*
