SCAM: Problem with your computer
If you get a call from someone you don't know who says that they have detected a virus on your computer and would like you to check a few things, hang up immediately. It is a scam. The caller will ask to gain access to your computer to fix it. I received such a call today and my mother-in-law in Bayside received the same type of call this morning. I just spoke to a Detective at the 111 precinct who says that this scam is common.
