“EZDriveMA scam” refers to a real scam (specifically a smishing/phone text fraud), not a legitimate charge. It’s not a lawful or official demand for payment, and authorities have warned people about it.
What the EZDriveMA Scam Is
- Scammers send fake text messages claiming you owe toll money or have an unpaid E-ZPass balance — often a small amount like around $6.99 — to make it seem believable.
- These texts include a link that looks official, but it’s a malicious/phishing link designed to steal your personal and payment information if you click it or enter details.
- This type of scam is commonly called “smishing” — phishing via SMS.
Why It’s a Scam
- Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) and other authorities warn that EZDriveMA will never request payment by text message.
- The messages are sent randomly — not based on actual toll usage — and the scammers’ goal isn’t the small toll amount but rather to harvest bank info, account details, or identity information.
- Legitimate toll agencies like EZDriveMA/E-ZPass don’t demand payments via unsolicited SMS.
How to Protect Yourself
- Do not click on any suspicious link in the text.
- Delete the message right away.
- If you’re worried you actually owe money, check your account directly by going to the official EZDriveMA/E-ZPass site — do not use any link in the message.
- If you did click and enter your details, contact your bank/credit card provider immediately and monitor your account for unauthorized transactions.
