Beware of Toll Scam Texts Targeting Georgians: Officials Warn Against Fake Payment Demands

• Share on:

Cellphone users in Georgia and across the United States have been targeted by a scam involving fake text messages about unpaid highway tolls, urging quick payment to avoid penalties. These messages, which often mimic official toll agency communications, are linked to fraudulent websites designed to steal personal information and money. Georgia officials and the Federal Trade Commission have warned the public to avoid clicking on any links and to report suspicious texts, emphasizing that legitimate agencies, such as Peach Pass, do not send payment requests via text.
