I received a text message from who I thought to be my 8 year old son. He has a SyncUp smart watch with limited contacts. The message stated “Dad, I need Help!” Along with this message came a Google location map of my son’s location (our home). The suspicious text came in around 11pm local time. My son was asleep and his watch was in another room. I checked and the watch does not show an outgoing text message to me.

Wondering if the SyncUp smart watch was possibly hacked and someone is tracking my child’s location and sending messages on his behalf.

Has anyone experienced this issue? Thanks!

I experienced the same issue the past two days with my kids.

Something absolutely strange happened last week with my mom. She received a text message out of the blue by a "woman names Diane" asking if this was Mia? Which mind you is my daughter's name. Of course she didn't answer but it was awfully strange seemingly how my mom is one of my daughters emergency contacts. Shortly after that it kicked her out for the application and she hasn't been able to get in ever since.
