LOS ANGELES (KABC) — Have you received a text message claiming you owe an outstanding fee for using a toll road? It's likely a phishing scam.
For example, some of the fraudulent messages state that you owe money for using the FastTrak Lane and that you need to pay via a website so you can avoid further late penalties and keep your driver's license. This is all false.
The Toll Roads says it does not send texts to non-account holders, and that drivers should disregard messages asking for a specific amount.
But if you're unsure, you can always verify text notifications by logging into your Toll Roads account, scrolling down to "Security," and clicking on "Notification Verification."
That text message from The Toll Roads is likely a phishing scam – ABC7 Los Angeles
