The scammers are working hard! [View all]

I have received 3 texts over the past month telling me that I have a traffic warrant out for my arrest, because I didn’t pay my toll bill in the state of Nebraska. The first one that I received, I called the traffic division directly to check to see if was real & the lady I talked to said that it was a scam. I said that I thought it was but because I travel thru different states, I didn’t need to have any issues. She was more than welcome to help out.

Today, I received 2 more texts saying the same thing! I blocked the number and deleted the texts.

I saw on Facebook, several law enforcement agencies were posting about the scams.

There are several different versions. They look legit, but the phone numbers don’t match up with the state’s area code! If you should get one? Block the phone number 1st and delete the text! Don’t open the link to respond!

Oh by the way! Nebraska do not have any toll roads! Not right now they don’t, but with the idiots we have running this state? It could happen in the future!
