A perfect number is any positive integer that is equal to the sum of its proper divisors. Several years ago, F. Luca showed that the Fibonacci and Lucas numbers contain no perfect numbers. In this paper, we alter the argument given by Luca for the nonexistence of both odd perfect Fi- bonacci and Lucas numbers, by making use of an 1888 result of C. Servais. We also provide a brief historical account of the study of odd perfect numbers.
