Scammers in Illinois are sending fake toll payment texts to drivers, threatening additional fees unless payment is made promptly. These phishing messages may appear to come from agencies like I-PASS or FasTrak, but officials confirm they are not legitimate.
The messages often include a link to make a payment, but authorities warn against clicking the link or responding. The Illinois Tollway has issued a statement confirming the scam and advising people to avoid these fraudulent messages.
If you’re concerned about unpaid tolls, check your Illinois Tollway account or call customer service at 800-824-7277. You can also file a complaint with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center. For more information on recognizing phishing scams, visit the Illinois Tollway website.
