Police Text Scam Alert | Christchurch News

A new scam’s hitting phones nationwide—fake police texts claiming you owe speeding fines and demanding payment via shady links. Acting Sergeant Liam O’Toole from Oamaru confirms: real police never send fines through text. People are falling for it, even showing up at police stations confused. Bottom line: if you get a text like this, don’t click the link. The real cops don’t work this way—stay alert and protect your cash.
