LITTLE VALLEY – The Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Office is warning residents about a new phone scam.

Deputies say scam artists call from (833) 928-2152 stating they work for a Microsoft Computer Security Company.

The group requests residents turn on their computer and log in so they can refund payments because they are going out of business.

Deputies say not to follow their instructions or release any personal information.

If such a call is received, residents are encouraged to call their local police agency.
