Scammers seem to be everywhere and now they’re coming at you via text with messages about unpaid tolls. Of course these texts are supposed to make you panic and click, but you shouldn’t.

Instead of clicking on any links, security experts recommend just deleting the texts and using your “report junk” option on your phone. According to The Spokesman-Recorder, clicking a fake link can let the scammers install ransomware, steal personal information, or worse.

Here’s more tips on how to handle these suspicious texts here.
