Scams Claim More Victims

Woodstock Police are reporting more victims to a couple of on-going scams. There's been numerous calls to local residents from someone claiming to be with Microsoft, claiming they have to remotely access your computer to fix it. A local woman recently fell for this scam, and the suspects that conned their way into her computer, could have obtained key financial information. Police are reminding people not to give out personal information or computer log-ins over the phone. They say if you receive a call claiming your computer is infected with a virus, it is a scam. There's also a "Mystery Shopper Scam" making the rounds. It involves the victim receiving a cheque and assignment to purchase items from retailers. They are then asked to send funds to Western Union account numbers. The initial cheque turns out to be false, and the victim is out the money they sent.
