A new scam involving the Illinois Tollway has been reported. "We have had several constituents call in about a text message they have received stating that they owe money," said Rep. Charlie Meier. "Do not respond. If you’re unsure if they’re legitimate, customers can also check their accounts online here or call the customer service center at 1-800-824-7277 between the hours of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays."

This is the latest in a series of phishing schemes from scammers, serving as another reminder to remain diligent and not give personal information out unless certain it is from a trustworthy source.
