Another scam to be aware of in northwestern Ontario.
The scam locks your computer, showing a red screen, with a number to call to get it unlocked.
If you call the number, someone is on the other end notifying you that you need to upgrade your security package.
The price quoted is $399.
Instead of sending the money to the scammer, all you have to do is turn the power off on your computer.
If you are using a laptop, just remove your battery.
