I installed and tested out Lookout yesterday. Lookout is a free antivirus app with a backup and phone locator function. It would not connect or locate my phone unless I had the phone turned on and I manually clicked on Lookout on the phone. So I uninstalled Lookout from the phone.
This morning I was awakened by numerous text messages from Lookout.
The text messages all said: "Lookout is sending this message to initiate an automatic connection. No action is required. FLX9DU725."
I logged on to the myLookout.com website and changed my phone number to an inactive 555 telephone number and then closed my Lookout account.
The text messages kept coming. I received 18 messages in about 40 minutes. It was very annoying. I was also very concerned because I only get 250 free messages and then I get charged for every message after that.
I sent an email to Lookout.
I called my service provider Telus. They could not do anything to stop a third party from contacting me. The telephone number of the sender kept changing with only a few repeats.
After about 40 minutes, the texts have stopped for now... keeping my fingers crossed.
Anybody else have this problem?
