Warnings On GPS AND CELL PHONES

This was forwarded by a friend in my inbox. I decided to post it here as reminder and warning to everyone who might happen to read this post. Some might take the same opportunity if you give them a chance. You might lost all your fortune then. We always see to it that our GPS is always hidden when we got out of the car. We also don't put any information like hubby, mama, papa or any family related names on our cellphones. Don't let these kind of people rob you. Keep reading and be informed. Here is the story;

GPS
A couple of weeks ago a friend told me that someone she knew had their car broken into while they were at a football game. Their car was parked on the green which was adjacent to the football stadium and specially allotted to football fans. Things stolen from the car included a garage door remote control, some money and a GPS which had been prominently mounted on the dashboard.

When the victims got home, they found that their house had been ransacked and just about everything worth anything had been stolen.

The thieves had used the GPS to guide them to the house. They then used the garage remote control to open the garage door and gain entry to the house. The thieves knew the owners were at the football game, they knew what time the game was scheduled to finish and so they knew how much time they had to clean out the house. It would appear that they had brought a truck to empty the house of its contents.

Something to consider if you have a GPS - don't put your home address in it. Put a nearby address (like a store or gas station) so you can still find your way home if you need to, but no one else would know where you live if your GPS were stolen.


MOBILE PHONES
I never thought of this........

This lady has now changed her habit of how she lists her names on her mobile phone after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag, which contained her cell phone, credit card, wallet... Etc...was stolen.

20 minutes later when she called her hubby, from a pay phone telling him what had happened, hubby says 'I received your text asking about our Pin number and I've replied a little while ago.'

When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn. The thief had actually used the stolen cell phone to text 'hubby' in the contact list and got hold of the pin number. Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from their bank account.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 in your contact list.

Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart, Dad, Mom, etc....

And very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked through texts, CONFIRM by calling back..

Also, when you're being text by friends or family to meet them somewhere, be sure to call back to confirm that the message came from them. If you don't reach them, be very careful about going places to meet 'family and friends' who text you.

* I never thought about the above!
As of now, I no longer have 'home' listed on my cell phone.

*PLEASE PASS THIS ON

My cellphone

I was trying to turn-on my cellphone last Friday. It was turned-on but I don't can send messages. I even tried to call our home phone number but still it don't work. I also tried to call it with our home fon but it won't also ring. What's wrong with my handy?? I was very afraid because I accidentally dropped it last weekend as we went to the party. What happened was, as I was sitting inside my car while waiting for my friends to come and pick me up, I forgot it on my lap. As my friends came to pick me up, I immediately stood up and forgot that my Motorola razor cellphone was on my lap. The bad thing is that I don't know that it was dropped already. As we were on the way to the party, one friend told me to call Chato who is the organizer of the party. That was the time I knew that I dropped my cellphone. It was totally wet when we came back because it was raining hard that time. Is it the reason why I can't messages and can't call too??? Your wrong, sometimes in our kitchen, the signal is not good. There is no signal at all sometimes. I thought my cf was totally bad. but it is still working until now. I'm happy even though I already have three cellphones with camera but I love my Moto too!!
