A Halifax woman lost $1,200 in a slick, two-part scam: her wallet stolen from a café, then a convincing phone call pretending to be her bank—complete with sympathy—got her PIN, letting thieves swipe $700 and pull $500 in cash before being stopped. How did they get her number? It wasn’t in the wallet, it’s unlisted, and she doesn’t know how they tracked her down—though she recalls suspicious behavior in line. Police warn these scams are common and scammers are highly convincing; never share personal info over the phone unless you’re 100% sure. This wasn’t just theft—it was a coordinated, sophisticated hit that caught her completely off guard.
