Scammers are targeting Saskatchewan residents with fake emails claiming to be from SGI.
The emails often request personal information. Subjects like residency confirmation and registration requests are common, but the details frequently change.
SGI does not ask for sensitive information through email. If you are unsure, contact your local license issuer or SGI Customer Service at 1-844-TLK-2SGI (855-2744). Avoid using any contact information provided in a suspicious email.
“These emails are convincing,” SGI stated, urging people to remain cautious. Do not click on any links unless certain the email is legitimate. If you confirm an email is fake, report it as spam to your email provider. Delete the email immediately.
If you clicked links or shared personal details, contact the police and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. Report the incident to SGI to add password protection to your account. You can do this at any SGI motor license office.
SGI posts scam alerts on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Follow their social media pages for the latest updates.
