Some Albertans have reported receiving text messages from Service Alberta offering $120 refunds for licence plate stickers.
This is a scam, says the provincial agency.
The texts, Service Alberta said, includes a link. The link takes people to a form where they're asked to input their banking information to allegedly receive a refund by direct deposit.
"These messages are not from Service Alberta," reads the March 7 statement.
License plate stickers were eliminated Jan. 1, 2021, and Service Alberta said it is not offering refunds.
"Albertans who receive this message or any other electronic message claiming to offer refunds for licence plate stickers should not click any links or input any personal or banking information," the statement reads.
