The Indiana Department of Transportation is warning the public about a tolling-related text message or “smishing” scam targeting Hoosiers statewide.
False messages appearing to come from INDOT or tolling service providers alert recipients of a “final notice” regarding unpaid tolls and mention additional fines, late fees, suspension of vehicle registration, vehicle impoundment, and further legal action, in addition to a link for payment.
INDOT says it does not and will not notify drivers of unpaid tolls via text message.
The public is urged to exercise extreme caution before opening suspicious links.
The best thing to do is delete these messages
