A lady has 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 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money was already withdrawn.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 25
minutes he had withdrawn all the
money from their bank account.
Moral of the lesson:
1. Do not disclose the relationship
between you and the people in
your contact list. Avoid using
names like Home, Honey,
Sweetheart, Hubby, Dad, Mum,
etc.
2. And very importantly, when
sensitive info is being asked
through texts, CONFIRM by calling
them back.
3. Also, when you're being
messaged (Texted) by friends or
family that to meet them
somewhere, Make sure to call
back to confirm that the message
came from them. If you are not
able to reach them, then be
careful about the going places to
meet 'family and friends' who
messaged you.
