關於老友的二三事

前兩天，外號壇主的老友轉傳大家一個電郵，是這樣的：

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 When they rushed down to the bank, the staff told them all the money was already withdrawn.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 Within twenty minutes he had withdrawn all the money from their bank account.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

I never thought about THAT! As of right now, do you have 'home' listed in your cell phone directory?

看後即時搜查電話簿，一共有四個不同的“home” ，都是別人的home，順手刪去了“ome”，算是對朋友有個交代。

事隔不久，老友真叻回覆：

What I learned from your advise:
i) better not to have a husband if you want to safeguard your money,
ii) never tell your husband (if unfortunately you have got one) anything to do with your money!

我的老友，果然厲害！女人，要嘛，真的要這麼的強悍才像樣。

還有那位化名松山千秋的老友，最近把blog上文章結集成書出版，文章雖已看了，還得買本在手才過癮。女人，要嘛，要有這樣的才情才像樣。
