The OPP say they have been getting complaints about an increasing number of telephone scams in recent weeks.
In one incident, a local resident agreed to donate 250 dollars to a charity they figured was worthwhile, and provided their credit card number over the phone.
Only after making the transaction did they contract police to ask whether the call was legitimate.
An officer was able to work with their financial institution to stop the payment from going through.
Police say local residents have also complained of phone calls about securing winnings or vacation packages.
The OPP remind you that if it seems to too good to be true, it likely is.
