Iowans may be sitting down to a turkey dinner, but don’t be surprised if, even today, the phone rings and it’s someone offering to help you and your “ailing” computer.

The next mistake, Hegerty says, is giving them permission to fix something on your computer that’s not really broken….

Hegerty says no matter how good the story may sound, he says not to believe it and certainly don’t give them any personal financial information or computer passwords.

Hegarty says if you get one of these calls, the BBB wants to hear about it. You can log on to www.bbb.org to report the scam or call it in. He says they have “first responders” ready to help.
