Scams Continue Despite Shutdown of Latest Tollway Scam

(Springfield, IL) — Officials with the Illinois Tollway Authority say they’ve shut down the latest impostor scam — but motorists should be aware the scam may persist. The scam involved fake texts warning motorists of legal action if they don’t pay their fine — when in fact, no penalties have been imposed. Experts warn drivers to be wary of any text that demands immediate payment. Even though the scam may be shut down, copycat thieves may still be operating.
