Just Another Scam

Pictured is just another scam. Here is some information to avoid these dreadful scammers.


Scammers are actively impersonating the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), Illinois Tollway, and Secretary of State in phishing text messages, claiming you owe unpaid tolls or traffic fines to steal money and personal data. These messages often threaten license suspension and demand immediate payment via a fraudulent link.

Key Details of the Scam:

Method: Text messages (SMS) or emails claiming an "unpaid toll invoice" or "outstanding traffic ticket".
The Hook: A link is provided, often leading to a realistic-looking fake website that steals credit card information.
Threats:
Messages urge immediate action, claiming that failing to pay will lead to increased fines or suspension of driving privileges

Fake Domain Names: Links often use fake URLs that mimic official agencies, such as "i-pass" or ".org", but are not legitimate .gov sites.


How to Protect Yourself:

Do Not Click: Never click links in unexpected, urgent messages regarding traffic or tolls.
Verify Independently: If you believe you owe a toll, log directly into the official Illinois Tollway website or check your account through their app, rather than clicking a text link.
Official Communication: The Illinois Tollway and state agencies do not ask for sensitive personal or payment information via text.
Report: Report the phishing text to the Federal Trade Commission at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. ... See MoreSee Less
