VERY INTERESTING BUT TRUE AND COULD HAPPEN TO ANYBODY!
Never thought this could happen but it did to a friend of a friend ........
This lady had her handbag stolen. Her handbag, which
contained her cell phone, credit card, purse... etc... was
stolen.
20 minutes later when she called her husband, from
a land line (pay phone) telling him what had happened, husband said
'I received your text asking about our Pin number ands
I've replied a little while ago.'
When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them
all the money were already withdrawn. The thief had actually
used the stolen cell phone to text 'hubby' in the
contact list and got hold of the pin number. Within 20
minutes 'thief' had withdrawn all the money from their bank
account.
Moral of the story as a lesson: Do not disclose the relationship
between you and the people in your contact list. Avoid
using names like Home, Honey, "Sayang" Hubby, Sweetheart,'Buah Hati',
not so endearing. And very importantly, when sensitive
info is being asked through texts, CONFIRM FIRST by calling
back.. Also, when you're being text by friends or
family to meet them somewhere, be sure to call back to
confirm that the message REALLY came from them. If you don't
reach them, be very careful about going places to meet
'family and friends' who text you.
