Shouldn't mention your love ones on your cellphone..

I saw this post from someone's multiply.com recently, and I feel that I need to spread it out and let as much people as I can to know about those terrible pickpockets behaviours.

True story :

A lady changed her habit after her handbag was stolen. It contained her mobile, credit card, money, keys, etc.

20mins later when she called her husband to inform him, her husband says "I've just received your SMS asking for our Pin number and I replied little while ago".

When they rushed down to the bank, the staff told them that all their money had already been withdrawn. The pickpocket had obviously used he stolen handphone to sms "hubby" in the contact list and obtained the pin number. Within 20 mins he had withdrawn all the money from the bank account.

Moral:
Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people in your contact list. Avoid using names like Home, Dad, Mum, Hubby, Honey,Sweetheart, etc...... ............and very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked thru sms, CONFIRM by CALLING back.
