just got this in a forwared email. even though the husband was a dipshit for texting a PIN number for his own wife, this is still pretty messed up.
"A lady has changed her habit of how she lists her names in her cell phone directory after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag, which contained her cell phone, credit card, purse, etc.., was stolen. Twenty minutes later she called her husband, from a pay telephone telling him what had happened. Her husband said, 'I have just received your text message asking about our pin number and I have replied a little while ago.' When they rushed down to the bank, the staff told them all the money was already withdrawn. The thief had actually used the stolen cell phone to text her husband listed in the directory and got hold of their pin number. Within twenty minutes he had withdrawn all the money from their bank account.
Moral of the lesson:
Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people on your call list. Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart, Mom, Dad, etc., And very importantly, when sensitive information is being asked for through text messages, CONFIRM by calling back."

pretty obvious point but a good one nontheless
definitely not a good idea to have "mum" "dad" "granma" etc, cos damn sure if i was out pissed with mates and a phone was found in a bar or in the street then the first thing to do would be to look through the photos in the camera, look for any filthy ones then forward the pics to all their relatives lol
( what a c*nt i hear you say lol )

I don't have names on my phonebook, only numbers. Each person I meet is allocated a number in relation to the order in which I met them. For instance, my mother is number 1, my father is number 2, so on and so forth. My girlfriend is number 3429. Quite a simple system really.
- i'm damn impressed!pizzafire
- you've fucked 3429 womens?
pr2 would be proud7point34 - so simple! I might actually adopt this clever mechanism...styleplus
- No no no, my girlfriend is the 3429th phone number I've taken in my life.Jimbo82

hmm - ATM's typically have a maximum that can be withdrawn in 24 hrs. My Credit Union only allows a withdraw of $300 in cash w/o physically going inside to speak to an employee.
- yeah. good point. I smell Urban Myth Email Spam.TheBIueOne

reply to text msg with "honey, i left 15 lbs of weed at <insert address>. I'll just leave the door unlocked so you can come pick it up"
then have the police waiting at <insert address>.
- that's a great idea. becuase he obviously knew the phone had been stolen at that point.skt
