The Danger of SMS

FYI....

This lady has change her habit on the handphone after her handbag was
stolen. Her handbag which contain her mobile, credit card,
purse..etc....was stolen. 20min later when she call 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".

When they rushed down to the bank. Bank staff told them all the $
already withdrawn. The pickpocket have actually use the stolen handphone
to sms "hubby" and got hold of the pin number. Within 20 mins withdraw
all the money from the bank account. So please remember try not to
disclose the relationship between you and the people in your contact
list. Avoid using name like Home, Honey, Hubby, sweetheart, Dad, Mum
etc...... and very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked thru
SMS, CONFIRM by calling back.

Dapat nung nakatanggap yung husband ng text na nakapagtataka, tinawagan na niya yung cell ng wife niya para maconfirm.
