In light of the Ontario Government’s recent announcement, ditching licence plate sticker fees, scammers are now claiming to offer refunds via text message.

Police note that Service Ontario will never offer refunds via text message.

Never click a link that comes from an unknown number.

To see if you qualify for a licence plate sticker refund visit ServiceOntario.ca . If so, they will mail it to your home.

If you receive this text message or one similar do not click the link, do not reply, just delete it.
