Be alert and don’t fall for the scam – Automated Speed Enforcement Cameras – Fines via text messages
The Belleville Police Service is aware of at least one community resident who recently received a notification via text message advising them that they had received a speeding ticket through the Automated Speed Enforcement Cameras and that they should click on the link to pay the fine. This is a scam. Legitimate speeding fines are mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle. Residents seeking further information on the payment of fines can visit the Hastings County website – Provincial Offences section.
The Belleville Police Service does not operate or have any affiliation with the Automated Speed Enforcement Cameras.
