⚠️ Scammers are impersonating E-ZPass, sending fake text messages claiming you have unpaid tolls. These messages contain fraudulent links designed to steal your personal and financial information.
How to Spot the Scam:
- The message comes from an unknown number.
- It contains urgent language, threatening penalties, or legal action.
- The link looks suspicious or does not match the official E-ZPass website.
- The message asks you to reply or take unusual actions to activate a link.
What to Do:
- Block the caller, then delete and report it as junk to your service provider (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.).
- Reach out to E-ZPass Customer Service at 1-800-333-TOLL to report the scam.
- Log into your official E-ZPass account to verify any legitimate violations or unpaid tolls. Verify toll notices directly with E-ZPass before making any payments.
- Review your E-ZPass account and credit card statements for any unusual activity.
- Notify your financial institution and credit card companies about the potential scam involving your information.
- Report the scam by filing a complaint with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center.
