Cyber Crimes Affecting Seldovia Residents
ATTENTION: 7 April 2014
Recently there has been a rash of cyber crimes in Seldovia. These crimes have been coming at us in many forms. The criminals (located not in Alaska) call people saying they are from a government agency, publisher clearing house, or another legit business, telling you that you won something or you need to register with their company etc. They also have been using viral programs on computers to fake system vulnerabilities and give you a website and number to call.
These criminals also use emails, Facebook, and other online programs to get you to contact them saying they are from Microsoft or Norton or Wal Mart. The use of big company names seems to be their forte. If you have contact with these people, hang up or disconnect from them immediately! Do not give them any information. You will need to call the Seldovia Police Department to file a report.
