Important.. READ

Got this from a friend:

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 hubby, 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the money was already withdrawn.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
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minutes he had withdrawn all the money from the bank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 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.

PASS THIS ON, it could have some merit!!!!
