SALINE COUNTY – Law enforcement authorities in Saline County are investigating reports of alleged computer scams.

A Salina woman in her 50’s received a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft repair, and was told her computer had been hacked and some programs would not work, according to Salina Police Captain Chris Trocheck

She was told she would need to pay $299 by credit card for her computer to work correctly.

She gave her personal information and credit card information to the caller.

She later called police and found out her credit card had been charged, according to Trocheck.

A Salina man reported to police he logged on to his computer Friday evening to find an error message from AT&T saying his computer contained child pornography and he needed to call a phone number to allow access for repairs.

After giving out his information, the man talked to a friend who told him it was a scam, and he was able to stop transactions before they could happen, according to Trockeck.
