Consumers Warned Of EZ Pass Text Message Scam

Governor Kathy Hochul warned New York consumers Sunday of E-ZPass text message scams. WRGB reports consumers have reported receiving SMS text messages attempting to collect tolls. These fake texts are often sent from an international number and request the consumer to reply with “Y” to receive a link and contain an unofficial website. Consumers should be aware that E-ZPass or Tolls by Mail will never send a text or email requesting sensitive personal information.
