The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) has issued a warning to drivers regarding a fraudulent text message scheme that masquerades as communication from the EZDriveMA toll payment system. This warning comes as reports surface of scammers sending texts that claim the recipients owe money for tolls, urging them to click on a link. MassDOT emphasized that these messages are not legitimate and can lead to identity theft or financial fraud. ‘It is important to know that MassDOT will never ask you to provide personal or financial information through a text message,’ said MassDOT officials. Customers are advised to directly contact EZDriveMA or check their official website if they receive such messages. Authorities are working to ensure that drivers are aware of this ongoing scam that poses a threat to the public. Additionally, a similar toll-related scam is circulating in New York City, where residents have reported receiving late fee notices for congestion pricing that are fraudulent in nature, warning them to avoid clicking on unknown links.
