SCAM ALERT: Emails claiming to be from SGI

SCAM ALERT: Saskatchewan residents are being targeted by scam emails claiming to be from SGI.

SGI is aware that scammers are targeting Saskatchewan residents with emails claiming to be from SGI. The subject line and text of the emails is ever changing but we’ve seen it cover subjects like residency confirmation and registration requests. SGI does not contact customers via email to receive this kind of information.

If you’re unsure if an email claiming to be from SGI is legitimate, contact your local licence issuer or the SGI Customer Service Centre at 1-844-TLK-2SGI (855-2744). Don’t use the phone number or email address included in the suspect email. These emails can be very convincing, so please approach any email claiming to be from SGI with a skeptical eye and never click on a link until you are 100% confident it’s a legitimate email. If you’ve discovered that the email is fraudulent, don’t click on any links. Report the email as spam through your email provider and delete the email.

If you did click on links in a fraudulent email or provided your personal information to someone who shouldn’t have it, contact the police and take the steps suggested by the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.

Please also notify SGI of the potential issue. There are steps you can take to have your SGI information password protected. You can do this at any SGI motor licence issuing office.
