WINNEMUCCA - A caller to the Humboldt Sun reported a possible phone scam earlier this week regarding checking computer equipment.
A man with an Indian or Pakistani accent called the local woman and identified himself as with a security company contracted by Microsoft to run a check on her computer to see if it had been hacked or had a virus. The man told her he would walk her through the procedures she needed to perform on the computer. She declined the offer and hung up.
The Nevada Attorney General's Office offers several tips on avoiding scams. For more information, visit http://ag.state.nv.us/.
