The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) is aware of an ongoing scam that is being relayed over text messages. Anything you receive claiming to be a toll collection effort from ALDOT is a scam.

The text message, which was not sent by ALDOT, may claim you are subject to legal action if you do not pay outstanding toll fees.

If you have received a text claiming to be from ALDOT and saying you owe a toll, it is a scam.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) reports that clicking a link in a scam text can lead to a phishing attack, in which the scammer tries to take your personal information, credit card information, or more. If you received one of these texts:

  • Don’t click on any links or respond to the text.
  • Report the unwanted text using your phone’s “report junk” option or forward it to 7726 (SPAM).

You can help friends and family by warning them about this ongoing scam.
