Prince Albert Daily Herald
Residents in the Prince Albert area continue to receive fraudulent texts claiming they need to appear in Provincial Court on an outstanding traffic violation.
The Saskatchewan RCMP say they continue to receive reports of the scam text messages, which were first reported in the Carnduff and Indian Head areas using a ‘+21’ area code.
Grasser said residents who receive a text message they believe to be fraudulent should not text the scammer back.
The Prince Albert Police Service also confirmed that they have received notices about similar text messages in the community.
“Court summonses and other official legal documents are not served by unsolicited text messages with links requesting immediate action,” the post reads.
