Victims Receive Text Threat About Unpaid Tolls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The scam starts with an unsolicited text sent randomly to thousands of phone numbers. The fraudulent message claims the recipient has an outstanding unpaid ExpressToll toll balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It specifies an exact urgent deadline in a few days when penalties or legal action will supposedly take place if the tolls remain unpaid.<\/p><div id=\"mwtad3218889788\" class=\"gas_fallback-ad_381404-ad_309691-placement_381406\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 30px;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7750719144850257\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7750719144850257\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"8735619847\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The text includes a link where the victim can easily pay their \u201coverdue\u201d balance online. This is where the real trouble begins.<br \/><br \/>Here is another variant of this scam: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Final Notice from ExpressToll: You have an unpaid toll balance.

Scam Link Leads to Fake ExpressToll Website<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the recipient clicks the link, it goes to an extremely convincing fake ExpressToll website set up by scammers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sophisticated site mirrors official ExpressToll branding and messaging. The victim sees fields to enter payment info to settle their \u201cunpaid\u201d account balance immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In reality, all money sent through the site goes to the scammers rather than paying any real tolls.<\/p><div id=\"mwtad3527120590\" class=\"gas_fallback-ad_360582-ad_309691-placement_360581\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 30px;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7750719144850257\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7750719144850257\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"9971336976\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

This covers the scammers\u2019 tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Scam Spreads to More Victims<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The text blasts are a numbers game for scammers. Out of thousands of messages sent, they only need a small percentage of recipients to fall for the scam to profit.<\/p><div id=\"mwtad1170672497\" class=\"gas_fallback-ad_360571-ad_309691-placement_360772\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 30px;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7750719144850257\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7750719144850257\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5867729999\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With money and data stolen from initial victims, the scammers repeat the process on more unsuspecting consumers.
