TEXT SCAM

SGI warns of rebate text message scam

Mar 30, 2022 | 8:42 AM

SGI is handing out some cash this year, but don’t let that trick you into giving up your money.

The Crown corporation is warning of a scam using its name.

Apparently, fraudsters are sending out text messages pretending to be SGI. The message asks people to click on a link to apply for their $100 rebate.

In a news release Wednesday, SGI clarified that it would never do something like that.

“While $100 rebates are being issued to vehicle owners later this spring, customers do not have to apply for them. Anyone who is eligible will be mailed a cheque, as long as their mailing address is up-to-date,” it said.
