Police in New Jersey are alerting people about a new scam, claiming outstanding toll debts from the Motor Vehicle Commission. The Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office says the messages include threats of enforcement for unpaid tolls and provide a fraudulent link for people to pay. Officials say these are not legitimate, as the MVC doesn’t demand payments through text messages. Police urge people to be very skeptical of any link sent in an unsolicited message. People are instructed to delete these messages and report them to the Federal Trade Commission.
