A local financial advisor says scammers are putting new spins on old tricks to get you to hand over your money. 

Connie Miller with the DeWitt Savings Bank indicates that she has recently been hearing about scams related to computers, and supposed tech support representatives telling you that there are viruses on your PC, that are not really there.

This scam relies on people moving money from one account into another that the scammer created for you. Miller says this should be an immediate red flag, as creating a bank account for another person is illegal. 

Miller says if you willingly hand over your money to a fraudster, there is little that can be done from the bank's perspective to get it back. The willing nature of the transaction means it is not covered by insurance. 

If you suspect you have been the victim of a scam, report it to your bank and the authorities immediately. Learn more about the DeWitt Savings Bank by going to dewittsavingsbank.com or by finding their Facebook page.
