How to avoid the road toll scam:
1. Understand the scam - The goal is to entice you to click a link or open a document that might download malware or allow criminals to access your personal information, credit card info or bank accounts.

2. Don't click on the link - Never open a link in an email or text, especially if the message arrives unannounced. If you didn't initiate the communication, don't engage directly and if you get this kind of text message, delete it.

3. Go to the source - Instead of opening the link, contact the entity that supposedly sent it. If you received a text that appears to be from E-ZPass, for example, and you think the toll could be legit, go to its website or call its customer service line to confirm if the charge is real.

4. Watch for emails also - Scammers aren't just using texts.

5. Report the scam - If you receive one of these texts, report it to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center. You can also report the scam to your state's attorney general's office.
