#smishing — Public Fediverse posts

First of all, this seems to be part of a much wider #smishing campaign that people are more familiar with: Fake road toll collection #scams

These have been a nuisance all year, and some of the sites hosting the same #phishing kit appear to be using that same ruse, simultaneously with the new one.

Did you get a message telling you that you owe $6.99 (or $6.69 - nice) in tolls? Probably part of this larger network of scammers.

Note how they have expanded to a variety of different locales: the City of Los Angeles, Seattle, Columbus (Ohio), and even the Canadian province of Ontario are all reflected, as well as the E-ZPass and SunPass multi-state toll payment systems, which together cover most of the US states that operate toll roads.

Since the middle of Oct. 2024, Talos has seen ongoing #smishing attacks impersonating U.S toll road automatic payment services (such as #ezpass with the intent of financial theft. The actors have so far sent SMS messages to individuals in about eight states in the U.S., including Washington, Florida, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Texas, Ohio, Illinois, and Kansas. Talos identified these states via spoofed domains containing the states’ two-letter abbreviations that we observed in the SMS messages https://blog.talosintelligence.com/unraveling-the-us-toll-road-smishing-scams/
