Ridgewood NJ, the Ridgewood Police report the Ptl. Douglas Christopher responded to Melrose Place on May 26, on a report of a fraud in the past. Upon arrival the victim reported a person contacted her reporting to be a Microsoft Tech attempting to fix a virus on her computer. The victim was convinced to allow the caller to fix the computer at www.helpme.net and update the computer remotely. The victim reported her computer was remotely accessed and has now been hacked in a fraudulent manner. The victim requested documentation of the incident.
Good grief, if we all called the cops and had them come to our houses every time we got one of these things, we would need a PD of about 10,000 officers.
