The Pueblo Police Department wants to warn people about a new phone scam.
Police said citizens have been receiving calls from an individual who claims to be from a computer company, such as Microsoft or Hotmail.
Police said the caller then tells the person that their computer has been infected with a virus and sends them to a website where the caller is able to gain remote access to the computer.

From that point the scammer can gather any information stored on the computer.
Police said people need to be cautious when receiving unsolicited calls and should never give out personal information over the phone.
