You may have received texts like these recently — but they’re scams.
Firstly, tolls won’t likely text you — they’ll send a letter.
But let’s look further. Is there anything odd about the number sending the message?
Yes. A plus sign (+) typically indicates a message from out of the country. A quick Google reveals this message came from the Philippines.
The text they sent didn’t even include a link. Furthermore, the text itself has a noticeable lack of punctuation. Government messages love periods. They punctuate well.
Don’t believe any odd texts you get. If you’re unsure, call the department they claim to represent and ask.
