The perils of using smart phones - small screen, big mistakes...

A client forwarded me a warning to pass on to you.
The message has been edited a little to protect the innocent, the guilty and the muppets who accidentally received a windfall.

"Last Friday night I paid a bill using my Internet banking on the iPhone.  Unfortunately, with the small size of the screen I didn't notice I paid the wrong person (lesson 1 - delete former payees after you finish doing business with them).

When I checked my bank account on Monday morning my heart missed more than 1 beat...I paid $350 to the wrong person

I have since submitted a form to have the $350 recalled...it will take 21 days to get this money back..."


So everyone, be careful when using those little screens and keyboards to do big jobs.
