For more details, please continue reading below…
According to a recent release, scammers in Hamilton have been implementing a new system where they dispatch a series of text messages posing as city officials.
Residents have reported text messages from “Hamilton.traffic@gov.on.ca” or unknown phone numbers masquerading as municipal representatives.
Reports indicate that the false officials are notifying potential victims that they are subject to several outstanding fees and fines concerning parking violations or other municipal fines.
City officials are warning residents to not interact with any text messages, as that is not how the City officially communicates with individuals.
