Hi and welcome to the android forums :)

In CM Settings > advanced , have you disabled heuristic engine? That could be giving false results if enabled..

If you were in possession of your phone at the time and date of that photo (taken because of incorrect password entries), then its an error on the part of the app. (I assume that a photo has been blanked out from the screen shot?)

Hi there thank you for your response...I have checked that and it was ticked...I'm getting this message a lot yesterday I counted the times and it was 24 messages like this one I attached. its the only app I have currently as like I said I deleted them. I will try this today and see what happens so far nothing compared too yesterday when I'd had 4 messages telling me attempts had been made....

I will keep you posted on this

Thank you for your help this thread is now closed as I changed my security software from CM security too AVG and no messages...so it could have been what you told me. Since that nothing has come through to me on my phone..

Thank you so much I was really worried and was about too hand my phone over too the police..

you have made me happy..


Sincere regards
