? SMiShing SCAM ALERT ?
Over the past week, NJ residents have reported receiving fraudulent text messages impersonating the Department of Motor Vehicles and EZ-Pass.
These messages claim:
• You owe payment for a traffic ticket
• Your license or registration will be suspended
• Your credit score will be impacted
• Toll charges will increase
The scam includes a fake link with words like “ezpassnj” and “gov” to appear legitimate. It tricks users into copying the link or replying with “Y” to access a fraudulent website that steals personal and financial info.
? REMEMBER:
• The NJ MVC does NOT send texts about tickets or registration issues.
• EZ-Pass will NOT text you for payment unless your account is in collections with Credit Collection Services (CCS).
• Do NOT click on suspicious links or reply to unknown messages.
• Always visit official websites directly if you’re unsure.
Report suspicious messages by forwarding them to 7726 (SPAM) and file a report with the FTC, FBI IC3, or NJCCIC.
