Unpaid Toll Scams

Have you recently received a text claiming you owe money for unpaid tolls? Even if you haven't driven through a toll, this text is likely a scam. Cybercriminals are impersonating tolling agencies across the country, using sophisticated tactics to trick you into paying fake toll fees. Here's what you need to know to avoid falling victim.

How the Toll Scam Works
Scammers send unexpected text messages that claim you owe money for unpaid tolls, often including a dollar amount and a link that leads to a fake payment page. The scam's goal is to steal your money and personal information, such as your credit card details, driver’s license number, or even your identity.

Red Flags to Watch Out For

Unsolicited Texts: A message about tolls you don’t recall or haven’t encountered recently is likely a scam.
Suspicious Links: Scam texts often contain links that resemble official toll websites but may have slight misspellings or unfamiliar domains.
Urgency and Threats: Scammers often create a false sense of urgency, warning of fines or legal action if you don't pay immediately.

What to Do if You Receive a Scam Text

Don’t click the link. Instead, go directly to the official toll agency’s website to check your account status.
Verify the source by contacting the toll agency directly using a phone number or website you know is legitimate. Do not use the contact information in suspicious messages.

If You’ve Shared Personal Information

Alert your financial institution: If you’ve shared any bank account or credit card information, contact your financial institution immediately to dispute unauthorized charges.
Change passwords for sensitive accounts, especially if you provided any financial details.

Remember: Legitimate toll agencies will never ask for payments through text messages or send links to unofficial websites. They will only remind you to pay through official channels, and will not charge extra fees for payment.
