The New York State Thruway Authority is warning residents of a text message E-ZPass toll scam. Tolls by Mail will never send an email or contact you requesting sensitive personal information such as credit card number, social security, etc. If you are contacted by anyone stating that they are from Tolls by Mail and they are seeking personal information, please DO NOT provide the information requested. Either call 1-844-TBM-8400 (1-844-826-8400) to report that you have been contacted by someone attempting to obtain personal information or ask the caller/email sender to provide their contact information so that you can call them back.
District Attorney Tom Walsh is reminding all residents if you've received an email from a sender unfamiliar to you, examine it before clicking any links. If you suspect that it's fraudulent, forward it to the Federal Trade Commission at spam@uce.gov or to the Rockland County DA Tip 411.
