    The Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission is warning toll customers of a resurgence of text scammers.

    The text scams come from scammers requesting payment for unpaid tolls through fraudulent websites, the commission said in a post on X.

    The commission said the Ohio Turnpike does not request payments from E-ZPass customers via text.

    Collection of unpaid tolls or toll violations will not occur by text either.

    The only website links that are associated with the Ohio Turnpike’s E-ZPass accounts are ezpassoh.com and ohioturnpike.org/ .

    The type of scam is known as “smishing”.
