A True story :
This lady has changed her habit on the hand 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, telling him what had happened.
The hubby says "I've just received your SMS 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was already withdrawn.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 handphone to sms "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withdrawn all the money from the bank account.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, Mum
etc....... and very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked thru
SMS, CONFIRM by calling back.
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO YOUR LOVED ONES AND FRIENDs
