Mobile Phone (Scenario 1)

A lady’s purse was stolen which contained her cell phone, credit card, wallet etc.  In 20 minutes the lady had called her husband telling him of what just happened.  The husband informed her he received a text asking about a bank card pin number and he sent it a little while ago.  

When they rushed to the bank they learned the money had already been withdrawn.  The thief used the cell phone to text “Hubby” in the contact list to get a hold of the bank card pin number. So, the NYC Private Investigators warn every individual not to save any number in the mobile devices with personal information. You should avoid naming your contacts or give out your personal information through texts messages. 

Mobile Phone (Scenario 2)

Another scenario, if friends or family would like to meet you somewhere, be sure to call back and confirm that the message came from them.  If you don’t reach them, be careful going to places to meet ‘family and friends’ who text you. 

Conclusion

Keep in mind do not reveal the relationship between you and the people in your contact list.  Avoid using names like home, honey, hubby, sweetheart, dad and mom.  Also, do not release sensitive information through texts.  Confirm by calling back.
