Police continue to investigate scam
Halifax Regional Police is continuing to investigate a financial crime scam that occurred in our region and are now requesting the public\u2019s assistance identifying a second suspect who is believed to be involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


On June 7, police issued a media release to warn citizens of a scam where a person received a call from someone pretending to be a bank employee. The scammer advises that the person\u2019s credit cards have been cloned. They put pressure on the victim to act quickly otherwise they will not be reimbursed their funds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The victim is then transferred to a person pretending to be the bank employee\u2019s supervisor who tells them they need to surrender their cards to an employee who will be attending the victim\u2019s residence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A suspect shows up at their residence and seizes the cards before using the cards at various locations.
The second suspect is described as a woman, approximately 20-30 years of age, with long light brown hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
