SCAM ALERT: MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — A new text message scam is cropping up on phones in Wisconsin and nationwide.
The message will warn you of unpaid tolls through the E-ZPass app, saying failure to pay will lead to your vehicle being impounded. That’s not the case, because the message actually comes from scammers looking to get access to your private information.
There are several tells to look for, including excessive use of emojis and casual language like “We wish you a sunny day full of happiness.” Your best bet is to delete the message and report it as spam to your carrier, then tell your friends and family to be aware.
If you have recently driven on tollways in neighboring states, you should check your balance due through E-ZPass directly.
