The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission is warning of a phishing scam targeting E-ZPass account holders. A text message claims to be from “PA Turnpike Toll Services” with an urgent request for your financial information to settle outstanding toll amounts and account balances. FMFCU has also been made aware that these texts might come from a phone number starting with “604-649-“.
Pennsylvania Turnpike officials are urging customers not to click links from unsolicited texts, email or similar messages. E-ZPass account holders should use approved safe methods to check their accounts such as the official PA Turnpike E-ZPass website or the PA Toll Pay app available from the Apple App Store, or Google Play store.
