A True Story:
This Lady has changed her habits after her handbag was stolen.
Her handbag which contained her mobile, credit card, purse etc was stolen. 20 minutes later when she called her husband, telling him what had happened, he said "I've just received your SMS 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When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn.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 pickpocket had actually used the stolen mobile phone to SMS "Hubby" in the contact list and get hold of the pin number. Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from the bank account.

Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people in your contact list. Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, sweetheart, Dad, Mum etc, and very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked through SMS, CONFIRM by calling back.
