Manitoba Hydro is warning customers of a new text message scam.
In the fake text it says, "Manitoba Hydro sent you funds due to an overbilling." It also directs recipients to click on a link.
A Manitoba Hydro spokesperson says that the messages are likely a phishing scam, and urges customers who receive the text, to not click the link, and delete the message.
The texts come from a variety of numbers because the scammers can fake the digits in outgoing texts.
Hydro can not confirm how many people have been affected by the scam.
