DAYTON--Police have a cyber scam warning for people in Dayton. In the past two weeks police have received three reports of what investigators are calling a Microsoft impersonation scam.
Someone claiming to be a Microsoft technician is calling people asking if he can "shadow" their computer because the software is giving error messages.
Once the victim gives the caller access to their computer, that's when the cyber crook steals financial information from the victim.
If you receive a call like this, police say never give the caller information or access to your computer.
Take down the number they're calling from, and contact the police and the company.
