MOBILE PHONE

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told them all the money was already withdrawn.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withdrawn all the money from their bank account.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 text 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 THAT! As of now, I no longer have 'home' listed on my cell phone
