Fake toll road texts sweep America as Chinese scammers target US drivers
Briefly

A new phishing scam is targeting residents across the U.S. by sending fraudulent text messages that appear to come from toll road operators like E-ZPass and SunPass. The messages warn about unpaid tolls and possible fines, prompting individuals to act quickly. Victims are then directed to fake websites mimicking legitimate operators, where they are tricked into providing sensitive information such as credit card details. This scheme is believed to be linked to Chinese smishing groups selling sophisticated phishing kits. Reports have emerged in various states, highlighting the scam's rapid spread and evolution.
