Text Scam
Saskatchewan RCMP is aware of reports of text scams where individuals falsely identify themselves as the Saskatchewan Traffic Safety Bureau. The text message states that the person contacted has been captured speeding in a designated school zone. It says the person must click a link in order for them to avoid attending court.
The Saskatchewan RCMP reminds the public to be vigilant when receiving unsolicited text messages or phone calls. Saskatchewan RCMP does not send information about traffic-related tickets via text message.
We encourage the public to take the following steps if they receive text messages from a scammer:
Don’t text the scammer back.
Block their phone number immediately.
Don’t send them any money or gift cards.
Keep records of the texts.
Report frauds to your local RCMP detachment by dialling 310-RCMP. You can also report scams to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 or https://www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/report-signalez-eng.htm.
Calling all youth!
The RCMP is recruiting for the 2024-25 National Youth Advisory Committee.
National Youth Advisory Committee members help the RCMP better understand, support and connect with youth by talking about the ways they want to be engaged. National Youth Advisory Committee members learn tools for community engagement, hear about volunteer opportunities, and talk with experts and RCMP members.
The National Youth Advisory Committee helps shape how the RCMP supports youth. It brings together youth from all over Canada to discuss important issues that they face in their respective communities. The National Youth Advisory Committee provides valuable input to RCMP policies, programs and strategies.
Each year, committee members share their thoughts on important and relevant topics such as:
reconciliation
bullying and cyberbullying
online safety
transportation safety and impaired driving
cannabis and substance use
mental health
healthy relationships and sexual consent
gender and sexual diversity
If you’re a youth between the ages of 13-21 and looking to make a positive difference in your community, apply today: https://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/youth-safety/national-youth-advisory-committee
