Re: What do you have your DH labeled as in your cell phone?
Posted by luckyinlove
Someone just emailed me this today and I honestly never thought about it before:
MOBILE
PHONES
I never thought of
this.......
This lady has now changed her habit of how
she lists her names on
her mobile phone after her handbag was
stolen. Her handbag, 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'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money was already withdrawn.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 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 Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn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,
Mom, etc....
And very importantly, when sensitive info is
being asked through texts,
CONFIRM 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 came
from them. If you don't reach them, be very
careful about going places
to meet 'family and friends' who text
you.
Creepy...but good point
