WHEC reports, scammers are still targeting New York Thruway motorists with text messages about outstanding toll account balances. The phishing attempts involve text messages with a link to a bogus website set up to collect both payments and personal information. One site, tollspayny.com, reportedly has been taken offline, but another, nytollservices.com, remains in operation. WHEC reminds viewers to be careful handling messages and provides an example of a legitimate message from the Thruway Authority, which never requests personal information via text.
