A scam targeting Massachusetts drivers has now reached Texas, warning people of outstanding toll balances in the 915 and 432 area codes. The scammers send official-looking texts claiming to be from a legitimate toll system, such as Dallas’ E-Z pass, with modest unpaid amounts that may seem legitimate.
However, the true intention is to steal your identity by pulling down personal and financial information from an official-looking link. To avoid this scam, it’s essential to note that reputable E-Z Pass and TollTag systems in North Texas won’t send texts for payment; instead, you’ll receive a letter with details and payment options.
If you receive one of these texts, delete them immediately without clicking the link.
