A familiar scam involving fake E-Z Pass violation notices is resurfacing, targeting unsuspecting individuals. Fraudsters are sending messages that falsely claim to be final notices for unpaid tickets in New York, urging recipients to click on a payment link. However, these links could lead to malicious sites or download harmful software onto devices. To avoid falling victim, individuals are advised to directly contact the turnpike or DMV using verified phone numbers if they suspect any outstanding dues. The New York DMV website has also issued a security alert about the rise in fake websites and scam communications. Recognizing these scams is crucial to preventing them.
