Editor’s note: In cooperation with Delta Police, the Crime Beat feature has changed its format. Delta Police will be outlining their calls for service in the community as well, highlighting an issue or issues of concern for residents, along with tips for the public when appropriate to the highlighted topic. This week, DPD is putting the spotlight once again on scams.

It doesn't take long for scammers to come up with a new scam. Most recently, scammers are using the provincial gas rebate as the carrot that they are dangling to potential victims. ICBC has released a statement that they are not issuing this rebate by text or email. If you receive an email or text claiming to be ICBC - delete.
