OHIO — The Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission is warning toll customers of a resurgence of text scammers.
The text scams come from scammers requesting payment for unpaid tolls through fraudulent websites, the commission said in a post on X.
The commission said the Ohio Turnpike does not request payments from E-ZPass customers via text.

Collection of unpaid tolls or toll violations will not occur by text either.
The only website links that are associated with the Ohio Turnpike’s E-ZPass accounts are ezpassoh.com and ohioturnpike.org/.
The type of scam is known as “smishing”.
