Precaution

Scams. Scams. Scams. What the heck. Every single day, you read news of people getting cheated. If it's their own stupidity like, you get stopped at the road side, they talk you through, well, blame yourself. But, if it's from other sources, I pity.

Tons of people lose and misplace their phones, and many too got stolen. So, it's wise to take precaution before the most unfortunate happens. Perhaps, at times it can't be helped but your phone somehow goes missing. The last thing you wanna do is to put all your personal details in your phone.

Do not put all your parents name as Dad, Mom, Bro, Sis. That's the worst. I have been practising this for a very long time already, and each time I asked someone to press the call button on my behalf, they don't know which name they need to go to. ^^ haha. But, I have the name Brother in there, except that that brother is not blood related with me at all.

You do not know what's awaiting you. I guess, it's better to take prevention measures rather than worrying that criminal might call your parents up, family members, relatives, or anyone close to you. I think my contact is all messed up. The "Father" is not a real father. The "mother" is not the real mother, the "Brother" is not the real brother either. I know that this is just small little measures, but if it can help even just a bit, why not. Plus, when it's the most critical times, even things like this can help you a great deal.

Female drivers, please do not place and flash your handbags at the passenger seat. It's best you hide it, or place it somewhere where it's not visible at all.

Female pedestrians, please do not flash your handbags or any branded things wherever you go and just walk straight without looking at your surroundings. It's a big no-no. People can come from the front, left, right, behind. Beware.

Beware, and becareful of your surroundings and belongings. Now, take extra steps, especially now that it's approaching CNY. People are getting desperate. They can do just anything now to get what they want. They are merciless, they lost the human touch.
