Computer Scam Reported

Watch out for the lat­est com­puter scam mak­ing the rounds.

Police say it works like this…

The vic­tim receives a phone call say­ing their home com­puter has a virus. They are then told it can be taken care of for just $2,090.

If the vic­tim agrees, the crook or crooks obtain pay­ment by credit card and then get full access to all infor­ma­tion on the com­puter. It won’t be long after that, the com­puter begins to mal­func­tion.

If you get such a call, police say hang up, and imme­di­ately give them a call. Never pro­vide any finan­cial or other infor­ma­tion over the phone.
