There is a scam going around on social media as well as an associated website featuring a Multi-Use-Go-Pass for Saskatoon Transit.

The City of Saskatoon says fraudulent social media account and posts are promoting a scam offer for a $2.35 Multi-Use-Go-Pass when the actual cost is $8.50 and the City of Saskatoon calls their transit pass a Multi-Use-Pass, minus the word “Go.”

As well the City says a website attached to this account is falsely claiming to be a Saskatoon Transit online page promoting “500 free travel cards” through an online survey. The scammers are trying to trick people into purchasing a fake pass and disclosing personal information. Scammers usually use the information they gather to get money or commit identity theft.

The City never requests or collects credit card, bank accounts or any sort of personal information from customers via phone, text, social media, or email.

Never give out your personal or banking information, or credit card number via phone, text, social media, email, or on a non-trusted website. Do not click on suspicious web links.
