Los Angeles, CA – Los Angeles County residents have reported receiving text messages claiming they owe FasTrak toll fees and offering a link to a payment portal. These messages have been identified as a phishing scam by state and toll road agencies. Today, Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn, who received the text herself, issued the following statement:

“While our attention is on the unprecedented devastation from this week’s wildfires, there are criminals out there looking to take advantage and rip people off.

I urge anyone who receives one of these texts to not click on the link and to delete the message. If you think you might owe toll fees, you can check safely by visiting fastrak.org.”
