Scam Warning! SCAMwatch is warning consumers to beware of scammers targeting their smartphones and tablet devices using the computer virus scam - a scam where people get a call from an expert out of the blue claiming that their computer has a virus, with the offer to fix it for a fee. In a new twist, scammers are claiming to be able to fix similar viruses on people’s smartphones or tablets. As with the previous version, the scammer will ask you to grant them remote access to your computer, however they will also ask you to connect your mobile device to the computer so that they can access the device through it. If you receive an unsolicited call like this, the best thing to do is hang up. For further information, visit the SCAMwatch website - tinyurl/m9lvomb
