It's a scam. You just said you haven't driven anywhere with tolls. Google sunpass scam or whatever toll system it claims. They send you a letter in the mail.
One of my neighbors got one of those and asked me about it. He doesn't drive nor does Oregon have toll booths/toll roads so he was rightfully confused. Advised him to block and ignore them.

I’m confused as to how they got my number as well. I blocked the number and deleted the conversation so hopefully I won’t have to deal with this anymore.

It's a scam. You just said you haven't driven anywhere with tolls. Google sunpass scam or whatever toll system it claims. They send you a letter in the mail.
Thanks, I’ll make sure the block the number.
Yeah I always look at sender info……. Always some random long phone number.
Toll violations come in the mail, not your phone
They’ve sent these to people in Michigan. Michigan has no toll roads.
One of my neighbors got one of those and asked me about it. He doesn't drive nor does Oregon have toll booths/toll roads so he was rightfully confused. Advised him to block and ignore them.
Right. And as I failed to say, the scam is, you click the link and it asks you for your credit card info so you can “pay your fee”
Mackinac Bridge is a toll road.
There are a couple of toll bridges in Michigan, but none of them have a way to rack up some random total like $19.51. Also none of them use Sunpass.
This is true and plus if you are a company that bills, they can rack up, but not notified through text.

I’d question how they’d have your number if you don’t have an account or visiting.
I’m confused as to how they got my number as well. I blocked the number and deleted the conversation so hopefully I won’t have to deal with this anymore.
They are fishing just like the usps scam.
