My wife gets a text telling her has outstanding toll fees. It's a total scam don't fall for it, there is no plate#, no photo, no location. We called the Harris County Toll Road Authority to ask about it, they have been alot of calls about
scams like this. Don't fall it!!

I think there's been a thread earlier on this along with just about every cities Facebook page is flooded with this warning. Seems it's still making rounds.

I FREAKING HATE SCAMMERS!

Nowadays I just assume everything is a scam if it's someone I don't know.

It's a sad state of affairs; AI will either fix it or make it so unbearable that we all unplug.

I don’t even open if it’s from someone I don’t know…just delete. I only recieve calls from my contact list….text and emails get trashed if they are from someone I know.

It's been on the radio stations as well, talking about the scammers.

Ditto.

Welcome to the world of “compromise.” So cool to watch and know exactly what Christ is talking about as we witness what a world without the one true God guiding us looks like. 😂
Human nature. Talk about a “hoot.”


Jeremiah 7:28 KJV

But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the Lord their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.

Galatians 4 : 16

Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

I got scammed a while back, pretty savvy. I had some medical issues over these past few years and had multiple ER visits to different hospitals, different ambulance services etc...so when it was time to start paying back bills, I would pay the ones I could, or setup a plan if it was too much. no big deal. well, I started noticing I was getting the same bill, only for $150-200 for the "ambulance" services. Took me a few months of getting my bills down enough to see the pattern. I tried calling the # on the bill to setup a pay plan (find out how much I owe), and it was disconnected. The bills were small enough I was just paying, not keeping my records and due diligence. so my fault.

Wife and I both received this text. Wish we could get Elon Musk’s team to weed out these scammers.

I've got several of these. If the number sent from is looked, it has a country code "63" which is The Philippines. First hint that it is a scam.

I got 1. I rarely take toll roads. 1 day I took a short drive on the Chisholm Trail. Within a few days I got the toll road scam text. I don't think it was a coincidence. Somehow the scammers knew I had taken a toll road. No toll roads since and no scam texts. I can see people falling for who don't use toll roads. I know that NTTA mails bills and does not text.

That’s the safest assumption.
