Welcome to 83rd Monday Musings:
As usual she used to keep her mobile phone in her handbag. Once her handbag was stolen which was containing her mobile phone, credit card, wallet etc. etc.
She tried to find her handbag and once she couldn't find her handbag she called her hubby after 20 minutes from a pay phone.
She told him what had happened,
Hubby said: 'I received your text asking about our Pin number of debit card 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When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn.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 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Within 20 minutes thief had withdrawn all the money from their bank account
Moral of the story :
1. 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....
2. And very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked through texts, CONFIRM by calling back
3. Always enable auto lock in mobile with password protection.
2. And very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked through texts, CONFIRM by calling back
3. Always enable auto lock in mobile with password protection.
4. Don't leave any sensitive or important information in mobile in form of text messages or mails
Well moral is not finished here, whenever you're being texted by any friend or family member to meet them at somewhere, be sure to call back to confirm that the message came from them, and If you can’t reach them, be very careful about going places to meet family and friends' whoever text you..
Make it a great Week !
