Beware - the dangers of handphones

This email received from Peter of Aberdeen........

I have just received the following story. Good lessons therein. Therfore, I thought you might like to know also.

This lady changed her habit on the handphone after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag containing her mobile, credit card, purse..etc....was stolen. Some 20 mins later, she called her hubby telling him what happened.

Husband says "I've just received your SMS asking about our Pin number. And I've replied a little while ago".

They rushed down to the bank where the Bank staff told them all their $ have already been withdrawn.

The pickpocket have actually used the stolen handphone to sms "hubby" and got hold of the pin number. Within 20 mins, he has withdrawn all the money from the bank account.

Morale of the Story;
Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people in your contact list. Avoid using name like Home, Honey, Hubby, sweetheart, Dad, Mum etc......

Take care mate.
