Transportation leaders say the text tries to trick you by warning of unpaid toll fees.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) has issued a warning about a new text message scam targeting drivers, where scammers impersonate KYTC and claim that the recipient has an outstanding toll bill. The scam texts urge individuals to click on a link to settle the supposed debt, but KYTC emphasizes that they do not send text messages about toll violations and advises the public not to click on any links from such messages. Instead, drivers should verify any toll charges through the official RiverLink website or by calling customer service directly. KYTC also encourages reporting these scam texts to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center.
