Missouri Department of Revenue Issues Warning About Unpaid Toll Text Scam
The Missouri Department of Revenue (DOR) has issued a warning to residents about a fraudulent text message scam claiming to be from the state’s tolling system. The scam involves a text message stating that the recipient has an unpaid toll violation and provides a link to pay the alleged fine. The DOR emphasizes that these messages are not legitimate and urges individuals not to click on any links or provide personal information.
The DOR advises that legitimate toll violations are typically communicated through official channels, such as mailed notices or the official website. Residents are encouraged to verify any toll-related communications by visiting the official Missouri tolling website or contacting the DOR directly. The department also recommends that individuals report any suspicious messages to the DOR to help prevent further fraudulent activities.
To protect themselves from such scams, the DOR suggests that residents:
-
Avoid clicking on links or providing personal information in unsolicited messages.
-
Verify the authenticity of any toll-related communications through official channels.
- Report suspicious messages to the DOR.
By staying vigilant and following these guidelines, residents can help protect themselves from fraudulent activities and ensure the security of their personal information.
