What it means
A scammer sends a message claiming you owe a small toll or fee, then uses the payment link to steal card details or personal information.
Example
A text says you have an overdue toll balance and must pay today to avoid a penalty.
Warning signs
- The message uses urgent penalty language.
- The link is not the official toll agency site.
- The amount is small enough to seem harmless.
- You are asked to enter card or identity information.
Safer next steps
- Do not click the text link.
- Go directly to the official toll agency website.
- Check your toll account independently.
- Report suspicious messages to your phone provider.
