SaskPower is warning of a text scam. The company says texts are circulating notifying customers of fraudulent refunds. The texts contain a link leading to non-SaskPower websites that may ask for financial or personal information. The company says scammers can use the information to get money or steal identities.  SaskPower says it never sends out financial transactions through texts, email or any social media.

The City of Saskatoon reports a similar scam involving someone posing to be from Saskatoon Light and Power. In those cases the scammer claimed there is a refund available or balance owing. The city also pointed out they don’t send out financial information through tests.
