You have probably seen the emails, web pages, blogs, cloud writings suggesting this new idea of storing a phone number in your mobile phone (Well it beats storing it in your fridge) with the name ICE “In Case of Emergency”, so that emergency services can contact whoever you want In Case of Emergency.

It actually makes a lot of sense, and I think we should all have a way of flagging our “ICE” contact on our phones. It could save lives!

Right, Well there is now “apparently” a new series of emails going around warning people not to do this. I’ve not actually seen any myself, but i did read it on multiple peoples Livejournal posts.

Right here goes: –

It is all a scam. if you enter this into your phone then the nasty “scammers” can take control of your phone, making lots of phone calls to people all over the world, stealing all your identities, using bluetooth to steal your card details from your purse/wallet and texting them to said scammer, on top of all this it checks your location with GPS and if you are more than 100 miles from your listed address, it emails your local burglars informing them your house is probably empty and worth casing out.

Amateurs!

Why limit your hacking to phones. welcome to the 7th gen virus. If you read this post, your brain is now infested with the AIJMU virus, and you will send me all your money. Plus some beer!
