Unpaid Toll Text Scam

New York consumers are being warned about E-ZPass text message scams. Consumers have reported receiving SMS text messages attempting to collect tolls. These fake texts are often sent from an international number and request the consumer to reply with "Y" to receive a link and contain an unofficial website. Consumers should be aware that E-ZPass or Tolls by Mail WILL NEVER send a text or email requesting sensitive personal information such as credit card, birthday, Social Security number or other personally identifiable information.
