The Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission is warning customers to be aware of a resurgence in fraudulent texts from scammers requesting payment for unpaid tolls through fraudulent websites.
The Ohio Turnpike does not request its E-ZPass customers to make payments by text. Collections of unpaid tolls and/or toll violations do not occur by text either.
The only website links associated with the Ohio Turnpike’s E-ZPass accounts are ezpassoh.com and ohioturnpike.org.
All customers should stay alert to these “smishing” and “phishing” scams by text and email.
For questions about the Ohio Turnpike’s E-ZPass notifications, contact the agency through ezpassoh.com or ohioturnpike.org.
