Whether you have been on the road much or not, scammers are finding a new way to try and get into your pockets. Fake road toll collection texts, which have been on the rise this year. In this con, scammers impersonate a state road tollway collection service and text you saying you owe a road toll fee and provide a link to click to make your payment.

If you receive at text, Better Business Bureau Investigator says you should not click the link.

If you have doubts, O'Brien says you can verify your outstanding toll balance with the legitimate agency. Instead of clicking on the link in the text message, go to your web browser, find the toll service's actual website, and log in to your account to verify if you have any outstanding toll payments. Another way to verify this is by calling the toll service's customer service line.
