The provincial government is warning the public of a text message scam making the rounds regarding motor vehicle registration.

Government says people have received text messages with a link asking them to reset their password so they can receive a refund related to vehicle registration.

They say government would not communicate such information through a text.

People who do receive the message are being asked not to respond, to delete the message, block the number, and forward the message to 7726 – which will alert the service provider to open an investigation into its contents.

Anyone with questions about vehicle registration is asked to contact Motor Registration directly.
