Text Scam

Going through tolls is a routine part of driving for millions across the U.S. E-ZPass makes toll paying fast and convenient – as easy as driving through dedicated lanes. But some scammers are exploiting E-ZPass’s popularity to scam drivers through a phony “outstanding toll” text.

This widespread scam sends an unsolicited SMS message claiming the recipient has unpaid E-ZPass tolls. To avoid penalties, it tells them to click a link to settle the debt. However, it’s a sneaky fraud meant to steal your money and identity. However, the texts do not originate from any official E-ZPass agency or toll road authority. They are fraudulent messages sent by scammers to deceive the public and capture personal information and money.
