I don’t have a smart phone and things like this are why I will never get a smart phone.

Your “smartphone” is a computer (let us repeat that, your smartphone is a computer), more computer than NASA had to land a man on the Moon, and when is the last time you loaded a virus checker or Malware scanner on it?
