Claims you must pay toll immediately or face fine
Drivers across Ohio are checking their texts, looking at their email inboxes and finding a surprising message from what appears to be the Ohio Turnpike Commission.Worse, it says if you do not click through and pay the bill immediately with a credit card, you will face"additional charges of $97.50."
But the Turnpike Commission says don't click through, and do not enter a credit card or other personal information.The message is the latest version of a nationwide ruse, that has has targeted drivers with phony messages about other toll agencies. Since early March, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center has received more than 2,000 complaints about fake texts from senders claiming to be a toll collection service.
