Scammers are at it again. This time, they've targeted unsuspecting TxTag customers with a phishing scheme, and the authorities are stepping up to alert the public. According to a social media post by the Ellis County Sheriff's Office, TxTag does not contact customers via email or text to demand payment for toll balances due. Therefore, recipients of such messages should exercise caution.
The crux of the scam is fraudulent communication, reportedly in the form of emails and texts, ostensibly from TxTag. The scam attempts to deceive individuals into clicking on a link, which could lead to the unauthorized access of personal and financial information. The message from the Sheriff's Office is unequivocal: do not engage with these messages, delete them immediately, and report anything suspicious.
TxDOT is not standing idly by in the face of these nefarious activities. Their official website offers more information about how TxTag operates and how customers can protect themselves against scams.
