New scam - I haven't seen this one before
So I have had the usual USPS scam emails/texts along with a variety of others . But this morning I received one that I haven't seen mentioned before . I received a text from a Missouri area code stating I had overdue highway tolls . Of course it contained a link to click on to " easily take care of this matter "
 . No I didn't click on the link .And no I haven't traveled through Missouri. Not recently nor 10 years ago . These bastards are relentless in their pursuit of our money . Be careful boys and girls they are everywhere

I got that one yesterday too. Didn't even bother reading past the first line, deleted and marked as junk. I can't believe anyone falls for these, but they must work on someone.

There are no toll roads in Missouri. I lived there for 35 years up until recently.

I just got one from FastTrak instructing me to click a link to pay a toll.
It's a scam.

If you don't have Venmo, you can get a Target gift card and email the number from the card to the same address.

My mother received one of those texts. Toll was from California and i usually don’t put a plate on my gooseneck when I’m in that state, soo i assumed it was a scam.
