Summary

Mass text messages claim you owe a small unpaid toll (often a few dollars) and threaten late fees or license suspension, linking to a look-alike payment page that harvests card and personal details. AI has made these texts read like polished official notices.

What people report

Text impersonating EZ-Pass/SunPass/FasTrak/TxTag -> "pay now or face penalties" -> link to a fake payment page -> card and personal data stolen.

Warning signs

Text about a tiny "unpaid toll"; urgent threat of fees/suspension; a link to a site that is not your toll agency's real domain; request for card details.

Suggested next steps

Do not click. Verify any balance by typing your toll agency's real website yourself, and report the text to 7726 (SPAM) and the FTC.
