E-ZPass Phishing Email

Written by

,

There is a new form of consumer fraud that involves scamming users of highway tolls. It works by telling drivers that they owe money on a toll service.

My question is how in the world do they know who uses the tolls?  More than likely they just blasted it out to everyone.   It looks like many people all over the US are getting these emails.  It comes with an attachment that might contain malware.

You can tell that it is a scam because of the origin:  <phillip.reeves@senseit.com.br>

Dear UserName,

You have a unpaid bill for using toll road.
Please, do not forget to service your debt.

You can find the invoice is in the attachment.

Yours faithfully,
Phillip Reeves,
E-ZPass Manager.
