New York E-ZPass Users Targeted by Ongoing Text Scam -- How to Protect Yourself

Wednesday, March 26, 2025 at 8:50 AM

New Yorkers are increasingly falling victim to E-ZPass text scams, with the FBI reporting over 2,000 complaints in recent months. The scam involves fraudulent text messages claiming the recipient owes money, leading individuals to share sensitive financial and personal information. The New York State Thruway Authority has warned that legitimate communications will only refer to official websites such as e-zpass.com or tollsbymailny.com. Officials stress that E-ZPass will never request sensitive data like credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, or passwords via text or email. If you receive a suspicious message, it's important to report it to the Federal Trade Commission.
