MILPITAS, Calif. (KGO) -- Millions of us have received calls saying our computers are infected with a virus. But it turns out to be a scam.

A Milpitas man said he believed it just long enough to get in trouble.

The man was caught unaware because, coincidentally, he really was having computer problems. He realized it was a scam when the caller asked for payment with iTunes gift cards.

However, even then, he was not out of the woods.
