HALIFAX — The Mounties in Nova Scotia are warning the public about a new texting scam that involves messages that appear to be from the RCMP.
Investigators say potential victims have reported receiving unsolicited text messages that claim to be an “RCMP Delivery Notice.”
The fake texts state that the RCMP were unable to deliver court documents and ask recipients to reschedule the delivery to avoid missing an urgent court date.
The text typically points to an internet link that leads to a rather convincing website that asks for personal information.
The Mounties stress that they do not issue notices by text message, and they are asking people to refrain from sharing personal information after receiving unsolicited texts or emails.
As well, the RCMP says government agencies should be contacted only through verified websites.
