Beware Of EZ Pass Phishing Scam

By Jim Donovan: The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has learned of an email phishing scam which appears to be an attempt to collect unpaid tolls. The Port Authority is advising EZ pass customers to not respond to the message if they receive it, and to simply delete it.

The E-ZPass Service Center does not send out email invoices for payment. If you owe money for using E-ZPass on a toll facility, the E-ZPass service center will send an invoice through the US Postal Service for payment.

If you have any questions about the validity of any message received from E-ZPass, please contact the E-ZPass New York Customer Service Center at 800-333-8655.

Below is an example of the bogus email:
