The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has stepped up its warnings about toll scams and phishing texts that trick people into submitting personal information. The scammers send text messages saying the recipient’s toll balance is overdue, prompting them to pay before they are informed they need to provide sensitive details.
This type of scam is on the rise, and the FTC advises consumers to be cautious when receiving such messages. They can report suspicious activity to the FTC or alert their bank or credit card company if necessary.
