Durham Region has warned residents about a new type of text message scam that started going around during the holidays.
These messages falsely claim that recipients must pay an overdue traffic fine and directs them to Durham Region’s website for payment.
The region advises:
- These messages are not from Durham Region / The Regional Municipality of Durham.
- Do not click on any links, respond, or provide any personal information. If you receive such a message, please report it and delete it immediately.
Durham Region has a website for information about court and traffic tickets.
