The message claims you were caught speeding in a school zone and asks you to pay your ticket on a fake PayBC website.
A fake website that’s nearly identical to a B.C. government one that asks for payment has prompted a warning from the province.
“An identical fake website has been created by malicious actors to potentially steal personal and/or credit card information,” says a spokesperson. “We have recently become aware of phishing attempts against PayBC users.” It continues to say that the driver was travelling “41 km/h in a school zone” and directs the recipient to “please visit” the provided link before a certain date.
The fake website reads: “To settle your infraction without a court date, please visit our online site.”Speeding in a school zone has a minimum fine starting at $196 in B.C., not $20.38.
