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When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn.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 Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from their bank account.



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.



PLEASE PASS THIS ON! I never thought about THAT!What are your thoughts after reading this?
I am a little freaked out after reading this...fortunately I've not lost my cell, but, I am thinking of changing my 'home' to a code name LOL

Just in case...

Another good tip that I do is I only carry 1 credit card %26amp; $40 cash so that, god forbid, if I every got my purse stolen...they can't get much. My credit cards all have limits of like $500, so they wont get much from me! LOL

Plus, my credit union bank is awesome about calling me for any strange stuff on my account. :-)
I did. I'm paranoid unless you answer a question that very few people know the answer to you can't know any of my passwords or what I'm doing or anything. :)What are your thoughts after reading this?
