Newest Texting Scam you Need to Know

Here's how it plays out.

You get your purse, credit cards, ATM card, and cell phone stolen.

The perp goes through your phones address book or your recently dialed calls and figures out who your hubby or S.O. is.

Then, the perp (while standing in front of an ATM machine) sends him or her a text message that says: "Hi honey... for some reason I've forgotten my pin number - can you plz text it to me?"

I'm sure you can figure out how the rest of this story goes.

HINT: You need to Read Between the Lines. Don't text your pin number out to anyone, and be sure to let your loved ones know that you'd NEVER forget your PIN number! After all, based on the number of times you've used it, you could probably say it backwards 5 times fast in your sleep! :)

Please pass this information on to you everyone you know. The last thing we need is someone stealing our hard earned money by text message!
