Heads up, drivers! That urgent text message about an 'EZ Pass toll violation' might not be what it seems. A sneaky scam is circulating, using fake text messages to trick you into clicking malicious links and giving away your personal information.
Here's how it works: You receive a text claiming you owe money for a toll and are directed to a website to pay. This website looks legitimate, but it's designed to steal your credit card details, address, and even your EZ Pass account information.
Protect yourself! Never click on links in unsolicited text messages. Instead, access your EZ Pass account directly through the official website or app. If you're unsure if you truly owe a toll, contact your EZ Pass service provider using the contact information listed on their official website. Stay vigilant and avoid becoming the next victim of this EZ Pass violation text scam.
