San Angelo police say citizens are once again reporting a common telephone scam. You get a call from someone claiming to be with the “World Wide Web” or “Microsoft” and they tell you they have found a problem or virus on your computer. Then they ask you to give them access to the computer so they can fix issue. Even if you wouldn't be fooled, please warn friends and relatives (especially elderly ones) who might not be aware of scams like this. Victims of this fraud could suffer anything from identity theft to having their computer hijacked and used to send spam or viruses without their knowledge.
