There could be spyware on your phone! Install this shady app to find out if you have the spyware or not!

I wonder if the shady app in the link is the spyware. This would be a brilliant way of getting on to people's phones.

Yeah, I see what you mean and on top of that you would need to pay for it.

That's why I added in the description a link with instructions on the free tool designed by Amnesty International's Security Lab.
