Warning: E-ZPass Email Claims are Phishing Scam

An email phishing scam is using the E-Z Pass logo and targeting people with false claims they owe money for missed tolls. The Illinois Tollway is advising I-PASS customers to disregard emails being sent from “E-ZPass Support.”

I-PASS customers should delete any email titled “Indebted for driving on toll road” or “Payment for driving on toll road” that arrives on an E-ZPass letterhead, the tollway authority warns.

The Illinois Tollway has been informed by the E-ZPass Group, an association of 25 toll agencies in 15 states that operate electronic toll collection programs, that this is a phishing scam.

No I-PASS accounts have been compromised as a result of this scam. Customers with questions can call 1-800-UC-IPASS (1-800-824-7277).

If you receive a phishing email, please file a complaint at www.ic3.gov. That is a site dedicated to sharing information on internet crimes across law enforcement agencies.
