The Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) is alerting its customers of an ongoing national texting Phishing Scam which the FBI is now referring to as “smishing”. The scam has been reported in several states, including Florida, and thousands of people have been targeted. The text scam poses as a tolling agency and urges recipients to settle outstanding toll amounts or risk a late fee if the unpaid toll balance does not get settled immediately. The text also supplies a fraudulent link that recipients are asked to click to pay the bill.
Do not click on links in unsolicited text messages, emails, or other communications claiming to be from CFX or any tolling agency. Even if the message seems legitimate, always verify the information by visiting a trusted website or calling a verified phone number.
