Officials Warn Of E-Z Pass Email Scam Falsely Claiming Money Is Owed

Officials with the Pennsylvania Turnpike and Better Business Bureau are warning of an E-ZPass email scam falsely claiming that money is owed, according to the Times Herald.

The scam asks the reader to click on a link in their email to resolve the ”debt,” but then infects the computer with a virus, the report states.

Officials with the Better Business Bureau are especially warning of the scam because the E-ZPass logos in the email look real, according to the report.

E-ZPass said it does not communicate with customers by email, and that any correspondence is sent by mail, per the report.

Similar scams have occurred in Illinois, Patch reported.
