Be careful when entering your husband or wife's name in your phone!
U better enter names or code instead of husband, wife, darling, home, etc.

Criminals are into it nowadays!



Here is a true story:

This lady has changed her habit on the hand phone after her handbag was stolen.

Her handbag which contained her mobile, credit card, purse, etc, was stolen.

Twenty min later she called her hubby, telling him what happened.

Husband says "I just received your SMS asking about your Pin number

And I've replied a little while ago".



When they rushed down to the bank, Bank staff told them all the money was

already withdrawn. The pickpocket had actually used the stolen hand phone to

sms "hubby" in the contact list and got hold of the pin number.


Within 20 mins he had withdrawn all the money from the bank account.


Morale 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 through SMS, CONFIRM by calling back.
