Cape Breton Regional Police is once again warning residents of a heat pump sales scam.

Candida Hadley's wallet was stolen from a north-end Halifax café. After that came the fraudulent phone calls that ended up costing her $1,200.

P.E.I. RCMP are sounding the alarm over a growing phone scam where callers pretend to be children or relatives urgently needing money.

Another community event has been targeted by scammers.
