Ez-pass Smishing Scam

We don't have an EZPass but use the Tolls By Mail instead. I have gotten several of those texts from...and check the spelling..."Toll By Mails". A dead giveaway it's a scam. They tell me a similar amount that I supposedly owe.

I have called the state site to report them, and they were VERY interested in the info I could supply and gave me a number to report it to the FBI which I did also. Haven't had any texts recently, but I bet I do get some in the future. Scams are everywhere and you have to be very diligent not to fall for them.
 
^ Yes. Plus, I wouldn’t think the state would try to bill you using your cell phone number and a text. Right up there with the invoices from the Geek Squad and the fortune offered by the Nigerian prince…
 
Sun Pass does everything by email, including a monthly account summary.

yes, and when they charged me for a state I had not been in and refused to credit my account I closed it. Customer service was horrible and reused to do anything. It was actually a bill from Atlanta sent to Sunpass. Still mad about that!
 
Now all the fake license plates are costing both the states and innocent people money. It wasn't like this when there were toll takers in booths at your exit. Mybe the system is saving the states SOME money, but NY is crying about the millions it's losing on tolls. Bring back the humans....
