Scammers are at it again, sending fake text messages claiming you owe unpaid tolls and demanding immediate payment. These fraudulent messages often contain phrases like “outstanding toll amount” and include a link to a fake website designed to steal your personal and financial information.

E-ZPass and other toll services will NEVER text you for payment.

If you receive one of these messages:

Do NOT click the link.

Delete the message.

Warn others to do the same.

If you’ve received a suspicious text or email, report it to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov. Be sure to include the sender’s phone number and the website listed in the message.
