Had been receiving Tolls Due texts, then Emails and some telephone automated recordings. Marked ALL as Scam and deleted or notified company handling the services I have then moved along and they stopped.

Wife received FOUR in twenty minutes the other day, called me Panicked, told her Mark as Scam and Delete or Report as mail accepts.

AARP just announced this as a problem, been going on over a year.

Was getting that a couple of years ago from Chicagoland. Don't get up there much using tollways and they readily kill it anymore as was prevalent for a spell.

Been getting them for ‘unpaid tolls’ from The Wisconsin Vehicles Department.
First, there are no toll roads in Wisconsin that I have every traveled on.
Second, it is The Wisconsin Department of Motor Vehicles.
Phishing expedition.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

Same as here in MN - the SCAM is nation wide .
Only tolls here are in their express lanes in some areas of MPLS , rest are 2 person or more express lane along couple in city freeway lanes
