More reports are coming in of door-to-door conmen purporting to raise money for the Scouts.
Last week, the News warned how a well-dressed salesman had been going around the Steveston neighbourhood armed with a suitcase of Starbucks products.
Each time, the man would claim the sales were to benefit Scouts Canada, but would only accept credit or debit cards.
Scouts Canada vehemenently denied any association with such a practice and police asked people to contact them if approached by the man.
But now it seems the conman is not alone and may be working the doors in pairs.
On Dec. 11 in Steveston, the RCMPs Crime Prevention Unit reported that two males went to a womans door saying they were part of Scouts Canada, selling Starbucks coffee and were accepting debit as payment.
The resident contacted both Scouts Canada and Starbucks who stated that this was not one of their fund raising initiatives.
The two suspects were pulling a suitcase filled with coffee and had a portable debit machine with "Scouts Canada" on it.
Another woman in the Steveston area, who contacted the News after reading last weeks story, said she, too, had a near miss recently with who she believes the same conmen.
One man actually tried to offer cash for the products, but the suited man who came to his door said he could only accept debit or credit.
If youre approached by the men described, contact the RCMP immediately.
