You need to choose the scale mode. Double click on the scale tool, and change the mode to local, normal, etc; until you get the desired effect.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Also, of you used 'freeze transformations', changing scale mode iirc won't help a bit in this case, so you might wanna rotate pivot point. After you rotate pivot point correctly, you will be able to scale it properly.
