When your Handbag or Phone is stolen

Be careful when entering your husband or wife's name in your phone!

True story:
A lady lost her handbag containing her credit card, mobile phone, etc. After she realized that her bag was stolen, she called her husband and told him what happened.
Husband said "I just received your SMS asking about your Pin number and I've replied a little while ago".
They realized what a risk they had taken. They rushed to the bank. Bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn.
The Thief had actually used the stolen hand phone to sms "hubby" in the contact list and got hold of the pin number.
Within minutes he had withdrawn all the money from the bank account.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 information is being asked through SMS, CONFIRM by calling back.
