If you ever find yourself questioning the authenticity of an “unpaid toll” message, John Goodwin says it’s not how they do business. “Legitimate toll operators are not going to communicate with customers by text asking for money and asking to be paid by clicking on a link to a website,” said a spokesperson with the Bay Area Toll Authority.

If you received a text saying you owe money for unpaid tolls, The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission wants you to know that it’s probably a scam. Officials are warning customers to be vigilant, as scammers are pretending to be toll agencies and are sending texts demanding money immediately,
