Sweetwater County Sheriff issues computer repair scam alert

Sweetwater County Detective Dick Blust, Jr. is warning the public about a telephone computer scam making the rounds.






Blust says the scammers often falsely identify themselves as representatives of legitimate, well-known companies such as Microsoft or anti-virus software manufacturers like Norton in an effort to sound legitimate and may even know their prospective victim’s name and address.






Blust offers these tips to stays safe.... Remember that computer and software companies aren’t going to call you to tell you about problems that you are having. Your name and address is readily available from a wide variety of sources, including telephone books. If you get an unsolicited call like this, just hang up.
