OPP is warning people about a scam involving fake text messages that appear to come from ServiceOntario. These messages may look official and urgent, but police say they are designed to trick people into giving away personal and financial information.
Officers are telling the public not to click on any links and not to download anything from these messages. People should also ignore any texts claiming they need to pay traffic tickets. Police are reminding everyone that real traffic violation notices are only sent by mail, not by text message.
This scam has been reported more often in the past two days. Police are asking people to talk to their family and friends about it to help protect others from being scammed.
