issue warning after account theft  QUEENSLAND police are
reminding people to protect their PIN numbers after an elderly
woman's bank account was drained by an opportunistic thief.
Police say the 85-year-old woman lost her wallet at a Woolworths
store at Mountain Creek on Queensland's Sunshine Coast on August
27.  Later that day she received a call from a man claiming to
be from her bank and requesting her Personal Identification
Number (PIN) for a bank card that was in her wallet.  The woman
later found that cash had taken from her account.  Police did
not say how much money was taken but said it was a reminder that
people should never give out their PIN numbers to anyone and
should immediately contact their financial institution if their
cards were lost or stolen.
