WGAL reports, the Pennsylvania Turnpike is warning the public to beware of another surge of smishing aimed at defrauding mobile phone users. The now-familiar scam is, in this instance, perpetrated by turnpike commission imposters sending texts originating in the 438 (Montreal, Canada) area code. The messages solicit payment of non-existent toll bills and the disclosure of personal financial information.
The turnpike commission website has more information about the scam, as well as advice for recipients of fraudulent texts.
