Be wise, while answering to phone calls
MAGNET, for personal, social and spiritual integration is a must–read magazine for everyone interested and engaged in social and spiritual activities. I am a social worker, drawn towards varied articles for inspiration. For the morning message, I often refer to this magazine.
The article published on Bank Transactions, in particular, published in February issue, is a must-read. ‘Fraud calls’ is one of the many precautions, underlined in this article, took me back to the year 2014. Fraud calls, spoofing, phishing, vishing, money mules and skimming are common, these days. Be wise, while answering such calls.
I am, one of the benevolent customers of the Indian Overseas Bank (IOB) since 2013. Post two years of association, it was time to renew my debit card. A month before its expiry I received a call from the so-called ‘ATM Bank’. Banker revealed the exact date, month and year of expiry. Believing him as a Good Samaritan, I answered to all his queries honestly. Queries were related to my debit card information. I received 3 messages one after the other, which pinched me for the rest of my life. They snatched my hard-earned money away from my account.
I wonder, as to where did they get information related to my debit card from? Can the bank share all these? I believe, no bank does that. I might have used all this information sometimes online.
My better half has three Unwanted Policies. Why unwanted? We got cheated and had to take those policies. There are numerous salespersons, trying to sell them for mere commission they get.
We are netizens. Fallen to the prey of the internet. Even the Indian government is propagating and glorifying online transaction, without measures to safety and security. Can we manage life without Computers with no internet connection? Undoubtedly the answer will be ‘NO’. Then better read the article of Rocky in MAGNET. You will be on the safer side.

Jealousy in Children
Dear Editor,
Even though I get the magazine regularly, I rarely read few of the articles. In the February 2020 magazine, I happened to read both the articles on Jealousy in Couplespeak & Cover Story. Even though there are some repetitions of the content, it is thought provoking – helped me to reflect on myself. Thanks to both or all the three writers. Good job!
Being a parent of two, I feel, parents are also the cause for children to grow-up in jealousy, which gets fostered unnoticeably in them and reflects in the latter part of their life. Competitions in children help them to be enthusiastic, but simultaneously we should be careful that they should not become jealous of competition. Congratulating the winner and disrespecting the other can hurt their mind. When children fail, parents must act rationally and regulate their children’s minds. Otherwise it will leave the children in the darkness of envy. Humiliating others and being humbled by other children does not help with their grievances. Children can never bear insults.
Keep up the good work of inspiring others through this magazine.
