TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - The Florida Department of Transportation was forced to issue a warning after a scam targeting SunPass customers has become widespread.
According to WPLG, the scam targets customers by sending them an email from unauthorized third parties and claiming the users owe past due tolls. The notice comes from the SunPassNotice@ezpass-collections.net address.
The emails, which lists the sender as "Sun Pass Collections Inc.," also state that customers will have to go to court if they fail to pay the alleged tolls.
According to SunPass officials at Florida's Turnpike Enterprise, customers will never receive toll invoices through email, only via U.S. Mail. Users are urged to log-on to the official SunPass website at www.SunPass.com to get a look at whether they really owe any past due tolls.
