“The email notifies the customer of a large deposit being e-transferred to them from the Government of Saskatchewan.”

SaskPower does not send e-transfers, the company emphasized, and customers are encouraged to always double check the sender’s email address to avoid falling victim to potential scams.

The company said anyone who has clicked on the link in the fraudulent email should get in touch with a local law enforcement agency.

More information on common scams and how to avoid falling victim to them can be found on SaskPower’s website.
