"Beware: Smishing Scams Targeting Toll Road Users Nationwide"
The FBI has issued a warning about a new SMS scam, known as "smishing," targeting road tolls, with over 2,000 complaints reported. The scam involves fake texts claiming unpaid tolls and urging recipients to click on a link to settle the balance, potentially leading to malware downloads or sensitive information sharing. If you receive such a text, the FBI advises filing a complaint, not clicking the link, checking your toll account on the legitimate website, and deleting the text. If you provided information, it's recommended to secure your personal and financial accounts and dispute any unfamiliar charges.
