These messages are not legitimate. Do not click on any links in the message or send payment or personal information.
If you receive one of these texts:
- Don’t text the scammer back.
- Block their phone number immediately.
- Don’t send them any money or gift cards.
- Keep records of the texts.
If you are unsure of the legitimacy of a text message or believe you are the victim of a fraud, please contact your local RCMP detachment at 310-RCMP.
