This episode of Scam Squad welcomes Senior Fraud Specialist from Montecito Bank and Trust, Shawn Dyer. In this episode Shawn discusses Utility Scams, Tech Support Scams, and she warns about automatic “robo-calls”. Tech Support scams occur when you are on your computer and you see an internet pop-up claiming that you need to fix your computer. Or the pop-up says you have a virus etc. It is true that pop-ups like this most definitely have scammers on the other side who want your money! They may even try to convince you to send them funds in the form of gift cards for the tentative tech support they supposedly offer. To report a scam or if you believe you have been scammed, call Vicki Johnson at 805.568.2442
