Identity Theft Flyer:
Below is a great flyer from the legal office about identity
theft!
Identity Theft Flyer
Your servicemember recently returned from a deployment. And you noticed
some changes. Some may be part of the 'new normal'. But others you wonder about: bursts of anger, withdrawal from friends
and family, trouble sleeping or sleeping too much. Should you brush it off as just a phase?

FYI...
A lady has changed her habit of how she lists her names on her mobile phone after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag,
which contained her cell phone, credit card, wallet... etc... was stolen.
20 minutes later when she called her
hubby, from a pay phone telling him what had happened, hubby says "I've just received your text 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money was already withdrawn.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 thief had actually used the stolen cell phone to text "hubby" in the contact list and
got hold of the pin number. Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from their bank account.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 in your contact list. Avoid using names like
Home, Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart, Dad, Mom, etc... And very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked through
te xts, CONFIRM by calling back. Also, when you're 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 don't 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,
I no longer have "home" named on my cell phone.
