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.
Safety warning
Toll agencies do not collect payments by text link. Every "unpaid toll" text asking you to pay is a scam.
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.
