School zone speeding ticket scam circulating Saskatoon: police
Saskatoon police are warning the public Monday of a scam circulating cellphones in the area and claiming to be the Saskatchewan Traffic Safety Bureau.
According to police, the scam sends a text message to people saying their vehicle was caught speeding in a school zone.
The email you need for the day's top news stories from Canada and around the world.
It asks people to click a link so they don’t need to attend court.
Police said anyone who receives a text should block the number and not click on any links or make payments to the website.
“The Saskatoon Police Service will never send a text message regarding payments of any kind,” a release from police read.
If anyone believes they have been a victim of the scam, police ask that it be reported to 975-8300 or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
