In December, police were contacted by people who were sent bogus text messages about traffic tickets from what appeared to be the Ontario government.
“As members of the public become more informed and educated about fraud, fraudsters are becoming
more sophisticated,” police said in a release.
“Police are strongly recommending that people slow the process down and verify all information that they receive before proceeding.”
Police say if a driver is ticketed for speeding using these devices, they will not receive a text message. The ticket will be mailed to the registered address of the vehicle’s owner.
