Did You Get An E-ZPass Text Demanding Payment? Don't click - It's A Scam

A new "smishing scam" is targeting people for their personal information under the guise of unpaid tolls.

Scammers, purporting to be from E-ZPass or other toll providers are sending fraudulent text messages asking for toll payments and urging recipients to click a link to settle their bills.

The messages usually threaten that if the person does not pay their balance, they will face consequences such as incurred fines or losing their license entirely.

The scammers, however, really aren’t after your money; they’re coming after your identity. The fake link will direct you to a site where they scrape your personal and financial information for their own purposes.

Here’s what to do (and what not to do) if you get the E-ZPass scam text.
