Saskatoon Transit warns public to be aware of a Go-Pass fare scam
June 17, 2025 - 2:09pm
- 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.
- 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
- Official website:
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:
Helpful reminders to help protect residents from potential scammers:
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.
