Greater Sudbury Police warning the public about the latest scam in the area.

A resident from Val Caron complained they had received a phone bill from Bell Canada for $200.00 that seemed legitimate, so they paid it through on-line banking.

However, the real phone bill came in a short time later.

Bell Canada confirmed the first bill was a fraud.

Residents are reminded to always check the account number before paying anything on-line.
