Question Posted Thursday December 30 2010, 3:37 pm
Okay we'll my boyfriend told me that one of his friend who was really good with computers and things did him a favor and somehow got on the internet and tapped into my phone and had all my calls by a certain person forwarded to his house phone that way when they called he could pick up and listen in. I want to know if this is actually possible and if so how do I stop it. Also he said my tetxs were sent to his email. I know he sounds crazy. But I'm just curious to know if this is possible.

I'm not an expert on this by any stretch, but I'm pretty damn confident about this. Even when the FBI hacks computers and phone, they do so by installing a spyware program on them either through known security weaknesses or support from the service provider.
That's it. That is the only way this can happen. You would also HAVE TO have a smart phone with a data plan for them to use more spy software.
Has your boyfriend or his friend had a chance, since he got angry with you to install something like this on you phone? If he hasn't, then he is just lying.
If you do have a smart phone with a data plan, and you have let either of these guys use it since your boyfriend went nuts, take it into a store of your service provider or call your service provider and ask them what you should do if you think you have spyware on your phone.
If you don't have a smart phone, your boyfriend is a piece of shit liar.
Even if you do have a smart phone, your boyfriend is probably still a peice of shit liar.
You should forward any e-mails he sent you claiming he could do this, or chat transcripts where he said he was spying on to your local police. If he is really doing what he says he is, then he and his friend are committing a felony crime and could be fined, or even do jail time for it. Feel free to tell them that. Even if he just lying, what he is doing is harassment and it's all right for you to report harassment to your local police.
And BREAK UP WITH HIM ALREADY.
He's behaving like a lying, abusive, controlling piece of shit. There is no reason, none, ever in the history of the universe, why you should have to stay with someone who harasses and terrorizes you like this. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
