IMAG1033The 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 direct the caller to a specific website which contains a virus. The virus will then have to be removed for a cost or will locate personal information on the hard drive. He reminds area residents to always be safe with personal information and to never give it out over the phone when unsure of who is on the other end of the line.
