    Police say scammers are impersonating Illinois Tollway employees, and asking for money.

    The phishing texts claim I-PASS customers owe money for unpaid tolls.

    The Tollway is asking motorists to disregard the texts, and check their online accounts, at illinoistollway.com , to make sure nothing is owed.

    Users can also call the customer service center at 1-800-UC-IPASS (1-800-824-7277) from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays.

    Anyone who receives a phishing text should file a complaint at ic3.gov . The site is dedicated to sharing information on internet crimes across law enforcement agencies, Mount Prospect police said in a Facebook post Sunday.

    The Better Business Bureau said phishing scams nearly doubled in 2023.
