The phishing email contained an attached PDF, which was signed by an individual claiming to represent the RCMP.
“The email includes the RCMP crest, but is not from a legitimate RCMP email address,” said the Mounties.
The RCMP reminded the public to take precautions against scams by not clicking on links or downloading attachments in unsolicited text messages or emails.
“Never send your personal, credit card or banking details in response to unsolicited messages, and do not enter those details on any website if you are not certain the site is genuine,” the police force said in a statement.
The Mounties also encouraged the public to take a moment to verify the source of messages and to watch for red flags, including misspellings or unusual email addresses.
Anyone who receives a suspected scam email was encouraged to report it to their local police and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, or Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers.
