Saskatchewan RCMP and SaskPower advise public about “phishing” scam

Saskatchewan RCMP and SaskPower are warning the public about an apparent “phishing” scam being delivered via text message.

The text message is telling people they have received a payment or refund from SaskPower. It also provides a link where they are asked to provide their personal and banking information.

SaskPower would like to remind the public that they never request that kind of information through text or other electronic means.

They also advise the public to never provide personal or financial information in response to any electronic communication and to only provide that type information to a trusted source.
