The Insurance Corporation of B.C. says it’s aware that some customers have received fake text messages related to a rebate for drivers announced last week in response to record-high gas prices.
ICBC says it will not issue rebates through text messages or email and anyone who gets a text asking them to click a link to receive the funds should delete it.
It says customers who had an eligible insurance policy during the month of February will receive the $110 rebate through direct deposit starting in May, as a credit on their credit card, or as a cheque between May and June.
Eligible commercial customers will receive $165, which ICBC says reflects their higher insurance premiums.
