PennDOT Warns of New Scam
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), Pennsylvania State Police (PSP), and the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PA Turnpike) are warning Pennsylvanians about a text phishing scam claiming that residents owe money to one or many of these organizations. These scams also threaten suspension of license and registration if the financial claims are not met. PennDOT wishes to reminds residents that it will only use traditional mail via the U.S Postal Service to communicate about any violations or financial payments needed; it will never send a text message for any reason. The PA Turnpike also does not text E-ZPass or Toll By Plate customers, and therefore, residents should not click on links sent claiming to be the organization.
