6pak Posted November 19, 2008 Share #1 Posted November 19, 2008 A woman has 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. > > Twenty 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 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 money was already withdrawn.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 Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from their bank 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 cam e 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 right now, I no > longer have 'home' named on my cell phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
