Don’t get burned by bogus software

Okay, you’ve definitely got the gall and guile to purchase cell phone surveillance technology! Next, put in some time to research the field in order to separate the scammers from the real deals. Being burned by bogus software is NOT part of your agenda!

Spyphoneguy and Spy Phone Reviews are two reliable sources of information on the web concerning cell phone surveillance scams. Spyphoneguy even has a forum where your questions may be answered.

Probably the biggest scam in the cell phone surveillance field is the claim that a company’s software can be remotely installed.

No such thing exists!

All smartphone surveillance requires physical control of the target phone for as long as it takes to download the software and erase the follow-up SMS alert always sent to the target phone — usually about five to ten minutes.

A program called “MMS Phone Interceptor” has been filching the un-suspecting with their bogus pitch for non-existent “remote install” technology. Both CellSpyPro and BigDaddySpy claim on their websites that their software is only installed on the monitor-phone, not the target-phone.

It’s bogus! You MUST have access to the target phone to install Cell phone surveillance software.

Another outfit to send off red flags is E-Stealth and its “Ultimate Bluetooth Mobile Spy Software,” which is getting lots of complaints about its ineffectiveness and lack of tech support.

One BIG red flag: E Stealth, like Cell Spy Pro and others, has no refund policy. So beware! According to Spyphoneguy, this technology works only on a few older Bluetooth protocols. This is apparently the same technology being peddled by such companies as Cell Spy Pro, Big DaddySpy, Phone Stealth and BlueStealth. Only E-Stealth, however, goes so far as to threaten anyone who asks for a refund with a $10,000 prosecution!

Companies that offer “no refund” policies also tend to claim that there’s “no software to install on the target phone” and push the need to “act fast while you can.” These are very good reasons to be skeptical about those products.
