Now not only do I need to avoid installing this, I need to avoid receiving calls from anyone whom may have installed it.

If you are referring to "device ID and call info", that is so the game can pause when phone call comes in. The "photos/media/files" permission is for game data files on sd card I believe. None of those Android access permissions is for your address book info.
