The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) has issued a warning about a recurring smishing scam targeting random individuals. This scam attempts to trick people into sharing their personal financial information by claiming they need to settle outstanding toll amounts.

What is Smishing? Smishing is a form of phishing that involves sending fraudulent text messages to trick recipients into revealing sensitive information.

Stay Safe:

1. Verify: Always verify messages by contacting the PTC directly.
2. Ignore: Do not respond to suspicious texts or click on any links.
3. Report: Notify the authorities or the PTC if you receive such messages.
