How Do You List Names on Your Cellular Phones?

Tweet

My headaches gone now. Thank God! Thanks for the pain reliever Mama gave me last night. My gosh! Migraine's attacking me again. *huhu* Anyway, this discussion isn't about my migraine. LOL... When I checked my mail this morning, I received a forwarded message from my friend Ellen regarding being careful about how I list names of my contacts in my cellular phone. Seven or Eight years ago, I had my first cellular phone. Unfortunately, I just had it for around 5 to 6 months, because it was snatched from my bag!!! I remembered how I cried hard that night when I found out that my cellphone was no longer inside my bag. =( For most of us, it's better to be careful. So, I'm sharing with you this e-mail: ----------------------- Be Careful How You List Names On Your CellPhone.. Be careful how you list names on your cell phone! A lady friend has changed her habit of how she list her names on her mobile phone after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag which contained her mobile, credit card, purse, etc... was stolen! Twenty minutes later, when she called her Hubyy 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 When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn.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 hand 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 Within 20 minutes, he had withdrawn all the money from the bank account.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 Lesson: 1. 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.... 2. And very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked through text/SMS, CONFIRM by calling back. 3. 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 places to meet "family and friends" who texted you. Please Pass this on. It does not worth anything but it will save much. ---------------------- After reading my friend's email, I checked on the way I list names on my CP. Maybe, it's time to do some changes. *wink-wink* Have a great Tuesday morning everyone! :) God bless! (",)
