Terrace RCMP are warning the public to be aware of the latest telemarketing scam of a person looking to steal your money by claiming association with the RCMP.

The person is very persistent and states that they are associated to the RCMP and are collecting money for kids who are bullied and/or suicidal.

The number that is displayed leads straight to an answering machine saying that the number belongs to the Canadian Professional Police Association.

" The RCMP never take part in any type of phone solicitation for funds, " says Cst Angela Rabut, media relations officer.
