State transportation officials are warning Hoosiers to delete and report suspicious tolling-related text messages as more texts circulate.
The Indiana Department of Transportation has become the latest agency to warn the public about suspicious messages involving tools, this time involving the agency itself. INDOT does not send text messages related to unpaid or past due tolls, according to a news release.
If Hoosiers have received a text message related to unpaid or past due tolls from INDOT or another tolling service provider, they are asked to not click any links, delete the message and report it to the Federal Trade Commission and/or Internet Crime Complaint Center.
Complaints can be made to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, and the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov.
