Ez-Pass Smishing Scam

https://www.ezdrivema.com/About-Ezdr...Smishing-Alert

I received a text telling me I owed $8.75 in unpaid tolls and to open the enclosed message. I contacted EZ-Pass Ma. And was told I'm up to date, not to open the message and to delete the text.

There's a lot of them out there. This morning I received one from (right) SSA saying I had to open the link and fill in my info because there was a problem with my fnancial information. Be careful.

Yep, EZ Pass has had this impersonation going on for a couple months. The Social Security spoof has been a recurring problem.


Take away this, if nothing else: NO OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT communication will be initiated by text message or phone call to you, at least at the federal level. All federal communications are started by a letter sent via the US Postal Service.

NEVER click on a link in an unexpected or unsolicited email or text message. ALWAYS go directly to the source if there are any questions or concerns.

Im getting the same thing weekly on the West Coast from a FasTrak scammer.

In the 10 years I have had FasTrak I have never received any Texts, now I get them constantly. I too just report and delete.

Safe Travels!

I got the same thing. Phishing scams to get you to enter you CC details in site that steals the information. Beware.

Same thing in WA. Fake DOL messages for “Good-To-Go” pass holders said the same, with the same $8.75 bogus charge. Dozens fell for it.
