Unpaid toll scam texts are on the rise, tricking thousands into sharing personal and financial details. Known as "smishing," this scam mimics real toll agencies, sending fake messages with urgent payment requests. In 2024 alone, the FBI received over 60,000 complaints. With cashless toll systems growing, fraudsters exploit the shift, using fake links to steal money and data. Authorities warn users to verify toll payments only through official channels and avoid clicking on suspicious links. Awareness is key—knowing how these scams work can help prevent financial loss and identity theft.
