Security Tip! by Boyoorisha: 11:42am On Feb 05, 2013 |
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, hubby 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 When they rushed down to their bank, the bank staff told them all that all the money were already withdrawn. The 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the stolen cell phone to text the husband in the contact list and got hold of the pin number within 20 minutes and has withdrawn all the money from their bank account.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 AGAINST either in using 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 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. 4 Likes |

Boyoorisha: A lady's handbag which contained i get the drift of the story but the bit that all the money in the account was withdrawn is a bit unrealistic. there's a withdrawal limit in every cash machine and the petty thief would have needed to present his ID at the bank to make a withdrawal. Unless the cash in their account is lower than the withdrawal limit, there's no way this story is 100% correct. |
