The top of a hand on a steering wheel, and past the car window a highway and a sign for an upcoming toll.

A text-based scam claiming to be about driving tolls has been going from state to state and shows no sign of slowing. For over a year, people have been receiving texts claiming they have an outstanding balance for road tolls, often a small amount.
