>This lady has changed her habit of how she lists her names on her
>mobile/cell 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was already withdrawn.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 used the stolen hand
>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Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from the bank account.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, Mom etc....... And very importantly, when sensitive info
>is being asked thru texts, CONFIRM by calling back.!!!!  Don't just give
>the data freely!
>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.

>PLEASE PASS THIS ON
