You get a text. It looks official. “Your vehicle has an unpaid toll invoice,” it says. The message claims to be from EzDriveMA. It wants $6.99. And it’s completely fake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EZDriveMA scam<\/strong> has been spreading rapidly<\/span> across Massachusetts since January 2025. The Massachusetts Department of Transportation warns<\/a> that scammers are targeting drivers with fake toll bills. But here’s the thing – they’re not just after your $6.99.<\/p>\n\n\n

What Is the EZDriveMA Text Scam?<\/h2>\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The EZDriveMA text scam<\/strong> is a type of “smishing<\/a>” – SMS phishing. Scammers send fake text messages pretending to be from Massachusetts’ electronic toll system. They claim you owe money for unpaid tolls and need to pay immediately to avoid late fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These messages look convincing. They use official-sounding language. They create urgency. And they prey on a simple fear – nobody wants surprise toll charges piling up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But EzDriveMA will never request payment by text. Ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scam first appeared in June 2024, according to CBS Boston<\/a>. It surged again during the holidays. Now it’s back with a vengeance in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n
