? 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.
