North Carolina residents are receiving fraudulent messages claiming they owe unpaid NC Quick Pass tolls. These scams, known as ‘smishing,’ use text messages to trick people into providing personal and financial information. Officials have warned users to avoid clicking on suspicious links and to report fraudulent messages immediately.

Fake Payment Requests

Scammers are targeting NC Quick Pass users with false claims about outstanding toll payments. The fraudulent messages instruct recipients to click on a link to pay the toll. If a person follows the link and enters their information, scammers can steal personal and financial details.

NC Quick Pass

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has confirmed that NC Quick Pass does not request toll payments via text message. Officials have stated that these fraudulent messages are part of a larger ‘smishing’ scam. NC Quick Pass users should be cautious and avoid responding to such messages.

How to Identify a Fake Message?
