Halifax Regional Police is continuing to investigate a financial crime scam that occurred in our region and are now requesting the public’s assistance identifying a second suspect who is believed to be involved.

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’s credit cards have been cloned. They put pressure on the victim to act quickly otherwise they will not be reimbursed their funds. The victim is then transferred to a person pretending to be the bank employee’s supervisor who tells them they need to surrender their cards to an employee who will be attending the victim’s residence. 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.
