A lady's handbag which
contained
her cell phone, credit card,
wallet etc., was stolen..20
minutes later, when she called
her husband, from a pay phone
telling him what had happened,
HUSBAND says, “I received your
text asking about our pin
number and I have replied a
little while ago”.
When they rushed down to their
bank, the bank staff told them
that money had been
withdrawn.
The Smart thief had actually
used the stolen cell phone to
text the husband in the contact
list and got hold of the pin
number within 20 minutes and
has withdrawn all the money
from their bank account.
NOTE:
There is nothing really wrong in
disclosing relationship between
you and people in your contact
list. I AM NOT ADVOCATING FOR
OR
AGAINST the use of names like
home, honey, hubby,
sweetheart, dad, mom, etc
What's important here is, when
sensitive information is being
asked through text, “confirm”
by calling back...let's be wise and
sensitive.
Also, when you are being sent
text by friends or family to
meet them somewhere, be sure
to call back to confirm that all
message came from them. If you
don?t reach them, be careful
about going places to meet
“family and friends" who text
you. SHARE WITH FRIENDS
