This is Dec 23,08 Entry for Grateful
For Keeping with the spirit of being grateful. I am grateful for this fwd here. And Down below the fwd I continue....
For people with cell phones
Very interesting........
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
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 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money was already withdrawn.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 Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from their bank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.
Along with that if you have an entry called ' Home ' with your actual
home phone number it ' s not too hard to do a reverse lookup on the
number to find the address. now the robber has your home number, keys,
AND address.
Also I am grateful that my little niece is staying over. I won't be alone on Christmas eve Day.
And I also have some horrible stuff happening here but I am going to Pray and give it to God!
PLEASE PASS THIS ON! I never thought about THAT!
