    hey everybody,

    I've recently aquired a BB torch and unfortunately installed the mentioned software. To my great surprise, I've recived an email from them to my university email account, which I *never ever* use for anything besides university stuff.
    The only explanation for me is, that this app has sniffed and sent my emailadress without my authorisation to them, which is quite a scandal. I've deleted the application as soon as I saw that I wanted to have access to my personal stuff, but still, this email adress got out.

    Has anyone experienced anything like this?

    Cheers

    This has been reported on several occasions by members unfortunate enough to do business with this so called company. Search the forums to see the experience of other members.

    Oh dear. I feel stupid.

    And angry. Very angry. Why the **** is this so called company allowed to offer more applications, EVEN THROU THE BB STORE if this business practice is known?

    This is outrageous.

    The CB app store is controlled by mobihand, not CB.

    Doesn't matter...if you're a retailer, you should be responsible for your vendors as well and make sure you are passing along safe products, or AT LEAST pull them once you are made aware of a problem. That's a cop out for CB.

    Not to mention, it says "Crackberry App Store" at the top of the page...nope, doesn't pass with me...no excuse!
