State police warn against Steuben County internet scam

STEUBEN COUNTY – New York State Police are warning people in Steuben County about a scam that’s already victimized two people there.

The two victims were targeted with computer pop-ups saying their bank accounts have been compromised and they need to contact the number on their screen to protect their assets.

That is a lie – do not engage with that pop-up. Instead, you’re encouraged to call state police at 585-398-4100.
