The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission warned motorists about a phishing scam targeting E-ZPass users. On Sunday, the PA Turnpike Commission was notified of a phishing scam targeting E-ZPass account holders asking for personal information to settle outstanding tolls through text messages.
According to the PA Turnpike Commission, the text messages claim to be from “PA Turnpike Toll Services” and revolve around urgent demands of the account that could cause a late fee if it’s not settled. The PA Turnpike Commission warns E-ZPass users who receive an unsolicited email, text, or similar message claiming it is from E-ZPass or another toll agency should not click on the link.
