Great Advice!!!
Names in Cell Phones
Something to think about & maybe make a change?????!!!!!
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. Twenty minutes later when she called her husband 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When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn.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 cont act list, and got hold of the pin number. Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from the bank account.
THE MORAL OF THE LESSON: Don't 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 information is being asked through texts, CONFIRM by calling back.
Also, when you're being text messaged 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 to a place to meet "family and friends" who text you.
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS!
