Some residents in the province have received text messages recently that warn them that their bank account will be closed, or be restricted to limited access.
The text messages come with a link that will lead you to a fraudulent website if you click on it. The website claims to be your bank, and will prompt you to enter your username and password, or other personal information.
Police are reminding the public to be cautious of phishing scams like this, especially when they involve security alerts via text message.
To avoid these kind of scams, police ask residents to stay away from website links in text messages that they were not expecting.
