Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
GeauxPass, Louisiana's statewide toll system, would like to inform residents of a nationwide "smishing" scam. The scammers are using text messages like the one below to falsely represent a tolling agency and make false claims that a toll payment is due.
The fake text messages direct recipients to an unaffiliated website, where they are asked to provide personal and financial information to settle alleged balances. GeauxPass will never ask for personal information via text.
Scammers will direct responses to a web address that has a hyphen in the address, such as geauxpass-la.com or one that is misspelled by one letter, such as leaving out the "x" in GeauxPass and had a .net domain instead of .com.
INCORRECT: https//geaupass.net
INCORRECT: hxxps://geauxpass-la.com
The correct website to access your GeauxPass account and contact the customer service team is: www.geauxpass.com
