SASKATOON — The Saskatoon Police Service says anyone who has received a text message saying they have been caught speeding and need to pay up should report it to them.
The SOS says it has been made aware of a text scam circulating through the community regarding speeding ticket payments.
The scam sends a text message to people claiming their vehicle was detected speeding by a camera. It then offers the user a chance to pay the ticket online.
Residents are being advised to block the number and ignore the text. Do not click the link or make any payments to this website, warns SPS.
The Saskatoon Police Service will never send a text message regarding payments of any kind. They ask that if you have been a victim of any fraud or scam, please report this to them at 306-975-8300.
These text messages can also be reported to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
