Newton County Sheriff warns of computer virus fraud

(From the Newton County Sheriff's Office)

Several people including some of our deputies have received calls from a blocked number stating there was a virus on their computer and for a fee it could be removed.

These calls are fraudulent. No computer company will call you directly unless you contact them first. If you suspect you are being contacted by a scammer, tell them to take you off their phone list and hang up.
