Eerm is it just me or isn't this reporting what the app is supposed to do. I WANT it to "steal" my sms history and contacts and send them to my gmail account.

yes, but i got a few reports from people who found the app installed on their phone without knowing about it (turned out it was done by parents / partners etc)
