Fort Saskatchewan RCMP Alert Public to Alberta Registry Scam Texts

Fort Saskatchewan police are warning residents about a fraudulent text message that pretends to be from “Alberta Registry Services.” The message claims the recipient owes an unpaid traffic or parking ticket and includes a link to a fake payment site, threatening additional charges, a driver’s licence suspension, or registration renewal problems if the alleged fine is not paid.

Authorities advise people not to click any links, not to share personal or financial information, and to verify any fines directly through official government channels. Those who may have interacted with the scam are urged to contact their bank and report the incident to the local police and the Canadian Anti‑Fraud Centre.
