SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — A warning about a new scam targeting toll roads and bridges across the state.
The scam comes in the form of a text message claiming you owe money for using a FasTrak lane.
It also threatens the loss of your license or late payment penalties if you don’t pay.
Officials at Toll Roads, the company that operates FasTrak, say it does not send text messages to non-account holders.
MORE: It’s 2025 and tolls on Bay Area bridges are now $1 more.
If you have an account, you should ignore messages asking for specific amounts of money.
If you are unsure, you should go online and verify your account.
ABC7 logged onto the FasTrak website on Sunday and a text phishing scam notice popped up.
This is a screenshot of ABC7 News’ FasTrak.org warning drivers about a text phishing scam taken on Sunday, January 5, 2025.
