These are the most common scam texts we see - don't let them fool you
"You have an unpaid toll of $12.50. Pay now or face a $50 fine." These texts try to scare you into clicking immediately. Real toll companies always send official bills by mail first.
"Your package couldn't be delivered. Click here to reschedule." These texts prey on people expecting deliveries. Real delivery companies leave notices at your door and don't ask for personal information via text.
"URGENT: Donate $5 NOW or we'll lose everything!" These texts use fear and pressure tactics during election season. You never have to respond to political texts, and you can always text STOP to unsubscribe.
Simple steps that keep you and your family safe from scammers
Real companies will never ask for your Social Security number, bank PIN, or passwords through text messages. If someone texts asking for these, it's always a scam. When in doubt, hang up and call the company directly using the phone number on your official statements or cards.
Instead of clicking links in text messages, always go directly to the official website or app. For example, if you get a text about a package delivery, open your UPS or FedEx app directly. If it's about a toll bill, visit your state's official toll website. This way, you'll always see the real information.
