Looks like there is an email scam going around targeting people who are looking for spy phone software.
This scam was recently reported on Symantec’s blog in a post called ‘Spying Can Be Dangerous‘ and again in their August 2009, ‘State of Spam’ report. (You can download the full 10 page PDF report)
The spy phone software being advertised is called the ‘MMS Phone Interceptor‘ and it promises all the standard spy phone features such as:
- GPS tracking
- Intercepting text messages
- Reading call history
- and REMOTE Installation
It’s the last feature that’s really getting people to bite. The email claims that their software has the ability to remotely install the spy phone software onto the target device by sending a special MMS message to a target phone. However, in order to do this, you are required to first install the so-called “unique MMS phone interceptor loader” on your phone and then execute it.
Once you execute the software program on your phone, the scammers will have access to all the data on YOUR phone.
If you get any email or read an advertisement about this product, do not buy it.
To read the entire email advertisement that is sent out, check out this post over on Spy Phone Forums.
