The Scam:
Scammers are sending text messages to FasTrak users, claiming they owe money for using the toll lane.
The message might threaten late fees and legal action if they don't pay immediately.
It's a phishing attempt to steal personal information or trick you into sending money.
How to Protect Yourself:
Do Not Respond or Click Links: Don't respond to the messages or click on any links in the text messages.
FasTrak Not Likely to Contact via Text: FasTrak typically wouldn't contact you about payments or personal information via text message.
Contact FasTrak Directly: If unsure about a message's legitimacy, contact FasTrak directly through their official channels to confirm.
Additional Tips:
Be Wary of Unsolicited Texts: Always be cautious of unsolicited text messages, especially those requesting personal information or urgent payments.
Verify Information: If you suspect a scam, report it to FasTrak and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
By following these steps, you can avoid falling victim to this scam and protect your personal information.
