Saskatchewan RCMP are warning the public of an ongoing email scam with incidents reported across the province. On February 13, 2026, Saskatchewan RCMP received multiple reports of individuals receiving an email containing a fraudulent ticket. The scammer represents themselves as the Saskatchewan Fine Collection Branch and indicates that the recipient has received a Provincial Violation Ticket. The fraudulent tickets include a ticket number, fine amount to pay, due date, payment instructions, a link to unsubscribe from emails, contact information, and Provincial Court Services copyright. The contact information listed is the accurate information for the Saskatchewan Fine Collection Branch, however the ticket information and payment link are fraudulent. Do not click the link or provide payment.

The Saskatchewan RCMP encourages the public to protect themselves from email scams by checking the sender for misspellings or unusual email addresses, never clicking on links from unknown senders, and looking for red flags such as urgent language or generic greetings. If you receive an email similar to this, report it to your local police and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. Saskatchewan RCMP can be contacted by calling 310-RCMP. Information can also be submitted anonymously by contacting Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or www.saskcrimestoppers.com.
