Do not download this game - Android OS & iOS

[Warped]

Talking Angela is a game for Android OS, downloadable from Google Play. The game is populated by the younger people.

It may look safe and clean, but it is actually a hacker stealing your personal information. How? Whenever you are using this app, the hacker has access to your face from your webcam or from other sources of camera. By looking close to her eyes, you can actually "see a room and sometimes a man sitting in it." The person, "hacker", sometimes asks very personal questions. The chat itself is computer coded, but some parts is told to be made by the "hacker".

Video may contain swear words on the chatting parts.

For safety of younger ones, share this whenever you can.

Edit 1.6.2014: If you are still reading this thread, don't take it seriously; this application doesn't have any men watching you. But I wouldn't use it as it still asks personal questions plus other kind of things. ~entY

LOL is this for real?
Sounds a bit fishy, especially the part about "man sitting in room"

This one hacker must be superman if he/she is able to watch thousands of people at one given time.

I have seen that before, but one shouldn't believe on random "news" either. What I have seen during my research, I wouldn't recommend to use such programmes as this.

When Yahoo, Cnet, Snopes, TheGuardian, Mashable and NBC all talk about the same Hoax, its not considered "random news" anymore.

I'm sorry but i don't believe in that crap.

Some interesting comments

Spoiler (Click to View)

People are saying it's fake because it's one guy who does it. I'm here to explain this is sort of a gang organization that a group of pedophiles team up and hack this. I know it may sound stupid but it can be true plus this doesn't happen to everyone it has to be a lucky person who gets the pedophile download.

Sadly, talking Tom is the same. THIS IS A TRUE STORY : my friend had talking Angela and one day talking Angela said "What is your name? How old are you? Where Do you Live? What City are you in?" then my friend said What? then Angela got all the answers to the questions she asked. Angela took out an old-fashioned- Camera out of her bag and took a picture of my Friend. Now, he took the picture in REAL LIFE!!! PLEASE DON'T DOWNLOAD!!! THE MAN SEES THROUGH ANGELAS, TOMS, GINGERS, AND ALL THE OTHERS EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEWARE GUYS!!! Bye

___

Omg I'm scared about dis I'm never getting this app

___

Its a mad in the eyes!!

___

No, no, just no when it said what is your name I said jean, then she repiled and said "your such a lier I know your real name is ashley, age ##" "and when you look into angela's eyes you can see your rooms reflection, well if you look closer

___

This app asks children questions like where they go to school and their address and so on. It also takes a picture of the child with a little heart in the corner. Don't download. It's very dangerous. Pass this on!

___

I am completely horrified at what that app said to my 5 yr old child! It said ' why don't you slip into something more comfortable. A coma perhaps! ' My daughter ran I crying and to add to that it takes random photos of her and asks her personall info!!!!

___

It asks your name, age and where your from. It also takes your picture without you noticing the weird thing is the photo doesn't go to your photos. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DELATE

___

This app is not 'Child friendly' it asks for your age, where you live and other personal information. It's very dangerous for small children to use. It also takes quick snap shots of you, who knows what they're doing with the picture? Don't download for kids.

___

She told me to learn from my parents mistake and use birth control, then she asked if my parents where siblings and last she told be to go slip in to a comma ......... All in all amazing kids game not !!!!!!!

___

This app is terrible, asks kids where they go to school, talks about illegally downloading films etc, makes it all too easy to add their pics etc how do we know who is monitoring this app and the answers!?!?!? Keep your kids safe this app should be removed!!!!!!

___

On Facebook there is a notice saying about this game It's not Angela it's robbers trying to get your info when you press the heart to tell your fortune the robbers see your pictures and try to find your location don't get it it's for your own good

___

I've seen that this app asks a lot of questions about the child's name school and address it also is said to take photos without notice.

___

What kind of app aimed at kids asks questions like 'are your parents siblings?'!!!! And also came out with 'roses are red, violets are blue, I have five fingers, the third ones for you'!!!! Absolutely shocked as it is targeted at kids. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP!!!!!!

___

For all you people who think this game is cute and adorable, well your wrong.My daughter had this game and I made her delete it.This game is inappropriate for kids.It says bad things to children.When I saw some things the cat was saying to my daughter I was very disappointed. I quickly deleted it for her.DONT GET THIS APP!!!! This game deserves ZERO stars.

___

Do not download this app, sometimes when you go on there's a small mirror in the corner. That mirror takes snapshots of you, I have been told these pictures are posted up on a website. Angela also swears, even on kid mode I have heard she stills says inappropriate things. She tells young children bad things like your the reason why we have a middle finger. This app also asks for your personal information like your age. She gives you the link to her Facebook , it seems like a fun app for children but if you parents download it you will regret it. I SUGGEST IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR CHILD SAFE THEN DON'T DOWNLOAD THIS APP! There's all these people who think this app is good and say ignore this crap. You can ignore it , but you won't be safe. Please everyone this is NOT a good app for goodness sake!

What would happend if we should download it and use it?

[[TC]►Bez◄]

The reflection in her eyes is the street she's in...

[Warped]

To be honest, I agree that there's no-one in the eyes, but nonetheless, a hacker doesn't need to be shown in a weird white cat's eyes. The questions which the cat asks, are easily gathered by the hacker(s). Plus the screenshot which she takes without a warning is suspicious.

[Jappe]

I don't believe this either.. but the only thing that gets me thinking, is how the 'cat' knows the user posted their conversation on twitter?

The software could easily make the connection using the google account the same way it can gather age, sex and other information. Its all about gathering information.

why would anyone actually want this in the first place? looks like a pointless app.
