You’re getting those, too? They’re so annoying.

It's a small-scale relative of 'this is the IRS, give us a thousand dollars' and 'your Amazon package got held up at customs because it's illegal' :v

popular in Florida right now.

Been getting those in the last two weeks as well. I don’t even live in a toll road state and can’t remember the last time I drove on one.

same, and funny how the site it wants me to go to is a .xin domain!

It’s hard to believe people are so easily fooled, but here we are.

I get these all the freaking time! Your license will be suspended if you don’t pay up! lol

Mine came from a +63 number (Philippines) so not credible.

From what you're saying, it sounds like some sort of scam.

Mr. Scamberson of Scamville, North Scamolina says I've been photographed NOT paying The Toll, which every American city has

This one is blowing up, man. You gotta do a toll scam comic now. I'll buy that too, health permitting.

I love when I get these as my number is from a totally different geographical area than I live and have never lived in nor I know anyone from. So the instant I get anything from the area code or concerning the area I instantly know it is a scam. Also helps I have never had a car or license.
