Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News) — At least two Jamestown residents were contacted on the phone Tuesday Jan 29, 2013 by an individual with a foreign accent, asking for them by first name, stating their computer had been reported as having virus problems.

They asked to individuals to type in an address, which brought up a screen saying several thousand viruses existed on the computer.

At that point the scammer had taken control of the computer.

The scammer then went on to offer to remove the viruses, and a screen appeared for them to type in credit card information.

This is a known Phishing Scam. Internet users are urged to never go to an address based on an unknown “voice”, never give credit card numbers to unknown individuals who call you.

If you received such a call and gave out credit card information, turn off your computer and contact the local Police.

If you received such a call and went to their website giving them remote control of your computer, turn off your computer and contact a local computer technician for advice as to steps to check and remove any viruses placed on your computer by the scammer.

It appears the scammers concentrate calls in a particular city or area code for a short time before the word gets out to the media.

By using public directories, scammers get names and phone numbers, to make it sound like they know the person they are calling.

Be safe, do not give credit card information to strangers. Do not allow access to your computer to an unknown “voice” on the phone.

Report the scam if you believe you have given out passwords, credit card, or bank information in error.

 Oakes, ND  (KCSi-T.V. News)  –  The North Dakota Highway Patrol reports, a two vehicle accident Monday (Jan 28, 2013)  about 5:30 p.m., injured one person.

The report says the accident occurred on North Dakota 13 with the intersection of I-29.

A truck pulling  a tanker trailer that was driven  by 55 year old Donald Glazier of Albert Lea, Minnesota was  westbound  on Highway 13 approaching the interchange with I-29  when the rig  collided at a 90 degree angle with a truck towing a flatbed operated by 69 year old Terrence Clark of Calgary Alberta, which was crossing Highway 13 headed to the on-ramp of northbound I-29.

Westbound Highway 13 was partially blocked for a time while crews cleaned up the scene.

He was cited for failing to yield and was taken to a local hospital for minor injuries and later released. 

 The crash remains under investigation by the Highway Patrol

 

WEST FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Gun raffles are common in North Dakota, but one aimed at raising money for a youth hockey association is drawing national attention in the wake of the December school shooting in Newtown, Conn.
 
     The Dec. 14 shooting rampage that killed 20 first-graders and six adults sparked a nationwide debate about gun control. Mike Prochnow with the West Fargo Hockey Association says the group’s gun raffle was planned months before the Connecticut tragedy.
 
     The association is raffling off 4,000 tickets for 200 weapons including rifles and shotguns, hoping to raise $90,000. The drawing is March 15.
 
     Some West Fargo residents like Teresa Blackcloud question the timing of the raffle. Others say North Dakotans have a different attitude about guns, and there’s nothing wrong with the raffle.

 

 FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A Texas man has pleaded not guilty to selling substances that led to the overdose death of two teenagers in the Grand Forks area. Charles Carlton appeared in federal court in Fargo yesterday. Authorities say Carlton led a conspiracy to import controlled substances from overseas and resell them over the Internet. His trial has been scheduled for mid-March. 
 
 
     BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The brother of a North Dakota man sentenced to life in prison for killing their mother calls the sentence appropriate. Dale Grenstiner says his brother, Dean, won’t be able to hurt anybody else. Dean Grenstiner was sentenced on Monday for killing Ann Grensteiner last March.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Low- and middle-income taxpayers in North Dakota are being offered free help with their taxes.
 
     Eleven AARP Tax-Aide sites are opening in February across the state, where 120 volunteers are expected to assist people with federal and state tax returns.
 
     The service is open to people of all ages. AARP officials say special attention will be paid to those 60 and older.
 
     The program will have three sites in Fargo, two in Bismarck, and one each in Dickinson, Grand Forks, Mandan, Minot, Wahpeton and West Fargo.
 
     Officials say the service helped 4,500 people last year.

 

  DEVILS LAKE, N.D. (AP) – Six semifinalists have been named for the president’s position at Lake Region State College in Devils Lake.
 
     They include interim President Doug Darling and officials from New York, Maine, Arizona, Kansas and Idaho. They will be invited to the campus for interviews Feb. 19-20, and a search committee will then forward the names of three finalists to the state Board of Higher Education.
 
     Former president Mike Bower left last summer to become the president of Owens Community College in Ohio.
 

 

In sports…

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota National Guard biathlon team has captured a regional title for the fourth straight year.
 
     Twelve soldiers and airmen competed last weekend against teams from 12 other states in the biathlon, which involves skiing and shooting. North Dakota biathletes won the top two spots in both men’s races and finished first and third in both of women’s events.
 
     Tech. Sgt. Danielle Card won the 7.5-K sprint race and the 10-K pursuit, and 1st Lt. Blake Hillerson took first in the 10-K sprint and the 12.5-K pursuit.
 
     Maj. Eric Nordgren placed second in both men’s races and Maj. Micaela Brancato was third in both women’s events.
 
     The team advances to next month’s national championship at Camp Ripley, Minn. The North Dakota squad won the event three years ago and has placed third the past two years.

NFL…

 NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis spent much of yesterday’s Super Bowl media day ducking questions concerning a Sports Illustrated report that says he used deer antler spray to speed up his recovery from a torn right triceps. The company, Sports With Alternatives To Steroids (SWATS), says its deer-antler substance contains a banned performance-enhancer connected to human growth hormone. Lewis dismissed the report as “stupidity” as he prepares for his final game before retiring at age 37.

 

MLB…

 NEW YORK (AP) – The Miami New Times has obtained files from a recently closed anti-aging clinic in South Florida linking Alex Rodriguez and other baseball players to the purchase of performance-enhancing drugs.

NBA…

In world and national news…

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) – As a huge, violent weather system rakes across the South and Central U.S., police in Nashville are reporting a death tied to the storms. They tell WTVF-TV that a man was killed when a large tree fell on a shed where the man had sought shelter. The National Weather Service is checking a number tornado reports and is warning that the collision of cold and warm weather systems could generate more, along with violent thunderstorms, heavy rain and damaging winds.         
 
     WASHINGTON (AP) – A Senate committee is holding Congress’ first hearing on gun control since last month’s school shootings in Newtown, Conn.

     MIDLAND CITY, Ala. (AP) – SWAT teams and negotiators have set up positions at a rural property in southeastern Alabama where a man is believed to be holed up in a homemade bunker after fatally shooting a school bus driver and fleeing with a 6-year-old boy who had been on the bus.

     CAIRO (AP) – Egypt’s liberal opposition leader is calling for a national dialogue involving the Islamist government, all political factions and the military. Nobel Peace Prize winner Mohamed ElBaradei’s (ehl-BEHR’-uh-dayz) appeal follows a warning yesterday from Egypt’s military that the country’s political turmoil could cause it to collapse. An eruption of violence has left 60 Egyptians dead over the past week.     
 
     WASHINGTON (AP) – A government watchdog says U.S. taxpayers stand to lose $27 billion from the 2008 financial bailout, up from an estimate of $22 billion in the fall. Ally Financial, the former financial arm for General Motors, still owes $14.6 billion of the $17.2 billion in aid it received. The report from the special inspector general for the Troubled Asset Relief Program says taxpayers can expect to lose $5.5 billion on the Ally investment.
