Here is some useful information
This information came to me today in the form of an email. I do not know if the story is true or not; but, I think the information in the email is very useful and wise.
Be careful how you list names on your cell phone! This lady has changed her habit of how she lists names on her mobile phone after her handbag which contained her mobile, credit card, purse,,,etc,,, was stolen. 20 minutes later when she called her hubby, from a pay phone telling him what happened, hubby says 'I've just received your text asking about our pin number and I've replied a little while later.Then they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn. The pickpocket had actually used the stolen hand phone to text 'hubby' in the contact list and got hold of the pin number. Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all of the money from the bank.
Moral of the lesson: Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people in your contact list. Avoid, using names like, Home, Hubby, sweetheart, Dad, Mum, etc... And very importantly, when sensitive information is being asked thru text, Confirm by calling back. Also, when you're being texted 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 placed to meet "family and friends, who text you.
