Sun Mar 23 15:00:00 UTC 2025: ## E-ZPass Text Scam Warning: Don’t Click That Link!
**TRENTON, NJ [Date]** – New Jersey residents are being warned about a resurgence of text message scams targeting E-ZPass users. These fraudulent messages claim recipients have outstanding tolls and threaten penalties or legal action if payment isn’t made by a specified date (in one recent example, March 13, 2025). The texts include a link directing users to a malicious website.
Authorities urge residents to ignore these messages. Do not click on any links contained within the text, as they may install malware on your device. Furthermore, do not send any money in response.
Legitimate E-ZPass communications will not be sent via text message. To check your account balance, log in to your E-ZPass account online or contact E-ZPass directly through their official website. Never respond to suspicious texts or emails claiming to be from E-ZPass.
