THIS LADY HAD HER HAND BAG STOLEN. HER HAND BAG, WHICH CONTAINED HER CELL PHONE, CREDIT CARD, WALLET........ ETC.......WAS STOLEN. 20 MINUTES LATER WHEN SHE CALLED HER HUBBY, FROM A PAY PHONE TELLING HIM WHAT HAD HAPPENED, HUBBY SAYS 'I RECEIVED YOUR TEXT ASKING ABOUT OUR PIN NUMBER AND I HAVE REPLIED A LITTLE WHILE AGO. WHEN THEY RUSH DOWN TO THE BANK, THE BANK STAFF TOLD THEM ALL THE MONEY WAS ALREADY WITHDRAWN. THE THIEF HAD ACTUALLY USED THE STOLEN CELL PHONE NUMBER TO TEXT HUBBY IN THE CONTACT LIST AND GOT HOLD OF THE PIN NUMBER. WITHIN 20 MINUTES HE HAD WITHDRAWN ALL THE MONEY FROM THEIR BANK ACCOUNT.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 FOR THROUGH TEXTS, CONFIRM BY CALLING BACK. ALSO, WHEN YOU ARE BEING TEXTED BY FRIENDS OR FAMILY TO MEET THEM SOMEWHERE, BE SURE TO CALL BACK TO CONFIRM THAT THE MESSAGES CAME FROM THEM. IF YOU DO NOT REACH THEM, BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT GOING PLACES TO MEET FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO TEXT YOU. please pass it on...
