Authorities and experts have issued warnings about a new wave of text message scams targeting individuals through deceptive requests for payments or personal information. These scams include fraudulent messages demanding payment for a "39-euro identity card," overdue toll statements, or E-ZPass final reminders. Fraudsters are also exploiting the reputation of official services like SAAQclic to trick recipients, particularly in contexts such as organizing children's birthday parties.
