Albertans Warned: Health Card Scam | Edmonton News

Published 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Description

Albertans beware: a new scam is flooding phones with fake texts claiming your health card is outdated and needs updating — but the government says they’d never ask for your personal info via text. These messages are phishing attempts, pretending to be official notices about Alberta’s move to digital health IDs, and are designed to steal your identity and money. The Better Business Bureau warns: don’t click links, verify with official sources, and delete suspicious messages — especially if they mimic federal agencies or have spelling errors. Stay alert — Alberta’s government isn’t sending these texts, and neither should you.
