Authorities across the U.S. are alerting citizens to a recent surge in scam text messages alleging unpaid toll fees. These messages often contain deceptive links that aim to harvest personal bank details. According to California Attorney General Rob Bonta, scammers are increasingly skilled at mimicking legitimate toll services, such as FastTrak and EZdriveMA. It is advised not to click links in suspicious texts and to report scams via 7726. Both FastTrak and EZdriveMA emphasize they do not text non-account holders for payment collections, reinforcing the caution against these phishing attempts.
