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 mobile, credit card, purse etc... was stolen. 20 minutes later when she called her hubby from a pay phone telling him what had happened, hubby says "I've just 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When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the Money was already withdrawn.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 pickpocket had actually used the stolen 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Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from the bank account.

Moral of the story: 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 info is being asked thru texts, CONFIRM by calling back.
