The Pella Police Department recently received reports of a scam that involves computers.

Lt. Paul Haase with Pella Police says the latest scam involves a caller telling the other party that there is a virus on their computer. The scammer will then ask the person to grant them access to their computer and personal information to get rid of the virus. He reminds area residents to always be safe with personal information and to never give it out over the phone, especially when unsure of who is on the other end of the line.
