Saskatoon Transit warns public to be aware of a Go-Pass fare scam

June 17, 2025 - 2:08 pm

Published On
Body

Saskatoon Transit is warning residents of a “Go-Pass Smart Card” fare scam on social media and through a fraudulent website.

A fraudulent social media account is advertising a scam offer for a $4.00 Go-Pass that supposedly provides six months of unlimited travel. Additionally, a linked website falsely impersonates as an official Saskatoon Transit page. This deceptive tactic seeks to mislead individuals into purchasing a fake pass and sharing their personal information.

To find the complete list of fare prices for Saskatoon Transit, visit: saskatoontransit.ca/fares-passes.

How to identify a potential scam:

  • The scam offers seem too good to be true.
  • The website may not be an official webpage or social media account page.
  • Requests for personal or financial information are a red flag.

Helpful reminders to help protect residents from potential scammers:

  • 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 over the phone, by text, on social media, by email, or on a non-trusted website. It is a best practice to block suspicious phone numbers, email addresses or social media accounts and delete them after reporting.
  • Do not click on suspicious web links.
  • Always verify information from trusted sources:
    • Official website:
      • saskatoon.ca
      • saskatoontransit.ca or transit.saskatoon.ca
    • Social media channels:
      • @cityofsaskatoon
      • @stoontransit

Scammers typically use the information gathered to get money or commit identity theft.

Residents should contact their bank if they have become a victim of fraud and report these types of phone or online scams to Saskatoon Police Service at saskatoonpolice.ca/onlinereporting/fraud/ or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, 1-888-495-8501.

Concerned residents may also call the City of Saskatoon to speak with a Customer Service Representative at 306-975-2400.
