Toll Road Phishing Text

The purpose of this web page is to promote awareness of internet scams, not promote internet scams.
Understanding the information on this web page and related pages will not protect you from all scams, but it will allow you to recognize many internet scams, allowing you to then focus on more challenging incoming scams.

This web page will address a toll road phishing text that I received.
This page will present the scam text in 2 ways:

When was the scam website created?

ezdrive.com is a website for paying tolls in Massachusetts.
The link in the graphic has NOTHING to do with the ezdrive.com website.
The website that the scammer is trying to direct prospective victims to is "com-liy.xin".
If you were to perform a "who is" lookup on the website "com-liy.xin", you would see that the website was only recently registered:

Domain: com-liy.xin
Registered On:2025-02-12
Expires On:2026-02-12
Updated On:2025-02-20

DO NOT OPEN THE SCAM WEBSITE

"Pay your FastTrak Lane tolls by February12, 2025. To avoid a fine and keep your license, you can pay at

http://ezdrivema.com-liy.xin/ma

(Please reply Y, then exit the text message and open it again to activate the link, or copy the link into your Safari browser and open it)"

Conclusion

The scammer is trying to socially engineer recipients into opening the website "https://com-liy.xin".

However, even if you do, sending your payment information to some scam website will do nothing to pay off any legitimate bill.
