Something To Take Note~

Got this email from a friend and i thought it will be good to share~

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 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. I replied a little while ago.’

They rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn.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 Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from the bank  account.

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..
