Show Notes
Scam text messages claiming unpaid tolls are circulating in Virginia and other states. These fraudulent messages, designed to steal personal and financial information, target E-ZPass users and non-users alike. They pressure recipients into paying immediately with phony links. While no major impacts have been reported, the threat of identity theft looms. Legitimate toll notices come via mail, not text. E-ZPass Virginia messages use specific numbers. If you receive a suspicious text, dont click or reply. Instead, check your balance on the official E-ZPass website, report it to your carrier, or file a complaint with the FBI.
