WARNING!!!!!!

ALL FAMILY MEMBERS SHOULD READ THIS ESPECIALLY CHILDREN!!!

1) These crooks are getting very good!

A lady has changed her habit of how she lists her names on her mobile telephone after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag, which contained her mobile telephone, credit cards, purse, etc...etc...was stolen. Twenty minutes later she called her husband from a pay telephone telling him what happened.

Her husband said, "I have just received your text 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When they rushed down to the bank, the staff told them all the money was already withdrawn.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 mobile telephone to text her husband in the contact list and got hold of the pin number. Within twenty minutes he had withdrawn all the money from their bank account.

MORAL OF THE STORY:

Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people in your contact list. Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart, Mom, Dad, etc... And very importantly, when sensitive information is being asked for through texts CONFIRM by calling back.

Also, when you are being texted 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 texted you.

PLEASE PASS THIS ON.

2) Just last weekend on Friday night we parked in a public parking area. As we drove away I noticed a sticker on the rear window of the car. When I took it off after I got home, it was a receipt for gas. Luckily my friend told me not to stop as it could be someone waiting for me to get out of the car. Then we received this email yesterday:

"WARNING FROM POLICE"

This applies to both women and men. Beware of paper/s on the back window of your vehicle--new way to do carjacking (not a joke).

Heads up everyone! Please keep this circulating. You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. You start the engine and shift into Reverse. When you look into the rear view mirror to back out of your parking space, you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window. So, you shift into Park, unlock your doors, and jump out of your car to remove that paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view.

When you reach the back of your car, that is when the carjackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off. They practically mow you down as they speed off in your car. And guess what, ladies? I bet your purse is still in the car. So now the carjacker has your car, your home address, your money and your keys. YOUR HOME AND YOUR WHOLE IDENTITY ARE NOW COMPROMISED.

BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.

If you see a piece of paper stuck to your back window, just drive away. Remove the paper later. And be thankful that you read this. I hope you will forward this to friends and family, especially to women. A purse contains all kinds of personal information and identification documents, and you certainly do NOT want this to fall into the wrong hands.
