Cellular Phone Precautions

Received this email from a friend and I guess everyone ought to know these facts for safety precautions.

These crooks are getting very good!

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When they rushed down to the bank, the staff told them all the money was already withdrawn.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Within twenty minutes he had withdrawn all the money from their bank account.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.

Also, when you are 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 do not reach them, be very careful about going places to meet 'family and friends' who text you.


PLEASE PASS THIS ON.


I never thought about THAT!


As of right now, do you have
'home' listed in
your cell phone directory?

5 DON'TS WHEN YOU ARE SLEEPING

DON'T SLEEP WITH WATCH

Watches can emit a certain level of radioactivity. Though small, but if
you wear your watch to bed for a long time, it might have adverse
effects on your health.

DON'T SLEEP WITH PHONE

Putting the phone beside your bed or anywhere near you is not
encouraged. Though some of us will use phones as alarm clocks, but
please put the phone as far as possible. Scientists have proved that
electrical items including mobile phone and television sets emit
magnetic waves when used. These waves can cause disruptions to our
nervous system. Therefore if you need to put your mobile phone near you,
switch it off first.

DON'T SLEEP WITH MAKE UP

People who sleep with make up might have skin problems in the long run.
Sleeping with make up will cause the skin to have difficulty in
breathing and problem in perspiring. You will also need a much longer
time to go into deep sleep.

DON'T SLEEP WITH BRA

Scientists in
America have discovered those that wear bras for more than
12 hours have a higher risk of getting breast cancer. So go to bed
without it.


AND MOST OF ALL....

DON'T SLEEP WITH OTHERS' WIFE / HUSBANDYou may never wake up again.
