MIDDLETOWN – The PA Turnpike Commission was advised of a phishing scam targeting E-ZPass account holders requesting personal financial information to settle outstanding toll amounts. The texts purport to be from “Pa Turnpike Toll Services” and center around urgent requests with your account that would result in a late fee if the balance does not get settled. Similar scams have been reported by toll agencies across the country over the past several days. Customers who receive an unsolicited text, email, or similar message suggesting it is from E-ZPass or another toll agency should not click on the link. E-ZPass account holders can use approved safe methods to check their accounts such as the official PA Turnpike E-ZPass website or the PA Toll Pay app available from the Apple App Store, or Google Play store. Those who receive a fraudulent text can file a complaint with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at the website: www.ic3.gov. That is a site dedicated to sharing information on Internet crimes across law enforcement agencies.
