​Telephone, email and text message fraud

​Telephone, email and text message fraud

ICBC is warning customers of scams on various channels that appear to be from ICBC. Messages may ask you to provide banking information or other personal information, or for you to click on a link for a refund. ICBC does not use unsecure channels to communicate sensitive information and does not use text message or Interac e-transfer to issue refunds. 

Tips to avoid being a victim:

  • Don't click links, especially if it's sent from someone you don't know. But also be aware that sometimes a scam text could also look like it's coming from someone you do know.
  • Don't respond to messages that ask you to provide private or financial information.
  • Never reply to a suspicious text message without doing your research and verifying the source.
  • Never call a phone number from an unknown texter.
  • Common sense is your best protection against fraud. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
  • If you get a message that appears to be from ICBC, contact us to confirm we sent you a message. ICBC's customer service line is 1-800-663-3051.

Customers that have received a phishing text are encouraged to report it through their local police (non-emergency line) and the Government of Canada's Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501.​
