A woman is scammed out of $2,260 in a phone computer scam.

Salina Police Captain Mike Sweeney said a woman in her 60’s received a call on September 30th from someone claiming to be with Delota Technology, and they had discovered her computer was attacked by malware.

The woman approved repairs for her computer in the amount of $310 that came from her checking account. She received another call requesting she wire another $1950 by Western Union to cover repair cost. She did so at a Dillon’s store.

When they called again saying there had been a problem with the Western Union money wire, she checked and found there was not a problem, and contacted police.

The scammers were also somehow able to move $3,000 from the woman’s savings account to her checking account. That money was not lost.
