Toll Road Scam Alert
Scammers are targeting victims with fake toll road violations and fee notices. Here’s how to protect yourself:How the Scam Works:
You may receive a text, email, or even a letter claiming you owe money for using a toll road. These messages often look official and may include:
• Fake violation numbers
• Threats of late fees
• Links to “pay now”
DO NOT CLICK THE LINK or provide personal or payment info.
What to Do:
1. Verify First: Contact your state’s official toll agency (e.g., E-ZPass, TxTag,) directly through their website or phone number—not the one in the message.
2. Watch for Red Flags: Bad grammar, urgent language, or unofficial domains (e.g., .net, .info) are warning signs.
3. Report It
Stay Safe: Enable spam filters, monitor your accounts for unusual activity, and share this info with friends and family who drive frequently.
