Be careful how you list names on your cell phone!
This lady has
changed her habit of how she lists her names on her
mobile phone after her
handbag was stolen. Her handbag which contained
her mobile, Credit card,
purse…etc…. was stolen. 20 minutes later
when she called Her Hubby, from
a pay phone telling him what had
happened, hubby says ‘I’ve Just 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already withdrawn.The pickpocket had actually usedthe stolen hand phone to text ‘hubby’ in
the contact list and got hold ofthe pin number. Within 20 minutes he
had withdrawn all the money from the bank account.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, Mum etc…….And very importantly, when sensitive info
is being asked thru 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.
Honestly this could happen to anyone.. It’s really safe to use full names or alias that would not show relation to that contact. You’ll not regret until it happen to you…
