CELL PHONES ~ A lady has now changed her habit of how she lists her names on her cell 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 Ive 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 When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn.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 Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from their bank account.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 lesson: a. 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. b. And very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked through texts, CONFIRM by calling back. c. Also, when youre 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 dont reach them, be very careful about going places to meet family and friends who text you. PLEASE PASS THIS ON Even if this doesnt pertain to you....Pass it on to your family and friends. It may be useful.
