Yeah, it's EZPass here. I almost got suckered in because Wife had a legit EZPass incident a few years ago that grew quite expensive with added fees and penalties after she never received the original notice. When I showed her the text she pointed out a couple of spelling/grammar errors that should have been an instant giveaway. :oops:

I too have Ez pass and get those.
I just go online myself and check my account.
I also get them for other toll things that I have never had like sunpass.
Thankfully my wife knows to double check with me before clicking anything but she doesn't even have access to our ez pass so that's an extra level of security

Same. We have EZPass in PA, and I've received multiple claims of offenses in the past few months.

All have been fraudulent, as of course EZPass knows how to bill you without threatening weird legal action. They have your credit card on file.

I've been dubious about letting Sunpass (or anyone except Steam :roll:) keep my credit card info. I'd rather enter the data each time.

I finally got one of those bogus FastTrak past due text messages, which is interesting as I just logged into my account a couple days ago.

1. Why would they tell you to go to some funky website instead of their own site.

2. The bogus site had bayareafasttrak in the name. Apparently I drove up to Frisco in my sleep.

My 18yo son got an EZPass scam message. He doesn't even drive.
