State officials are warning Americans not to respond to a surge of scam road toll collection texts.

The texts impersonating state road toll collection agencies attempt to get phone users to reveal financial information, such as credit or debit cards or bank accounts.

They’re so-called smishing scams — a form of phishing that relies on SMS texts to trick people into sending money or share sensitive information.

“It is a SCAM, If you ever receive a text that looks suspicious, be sure to never click on it. You don’t want your private information stolen by scammers.”

Got it...ignored it.

I get those texts all the time. I knew it was a scam.

Have gotten about half a dozen....from 3 different "states".

We've gotten them too. Delete.

Some folks must fall for it..I can’t imagine being that gullible.

I've been told when I think I'm too smart to get scammed is when I'm a prime target for a scam.
