Alert! Pay your bills!
 

I got an email this morning from the Collections at E Z Pass, saying I was in arrears with my payments for tolls and that they had repeatedly sent notice. To please click on the attachment to see my invoice. Well DUH!! We don't even have any toll roads in my little ole town nor in my state, that I'm aware of. There will be some people who will ''click'' it and end up with a bad intruder in their computer. Just putting the warning out there.

is there anything that these scammers don't cover ugh! do you see the tv commericals for back and knee braces and if you are on medicare to call the number and have your medicare card ready ad these braces are little to no cost to you and call this number yada yada well I get a newsletter from my health insurance every month and they said that medicare has nothing to do with these companies to deal with your doctor directly and to think you call and give them your personal info and nobody knows who or where these braces come from another scam

Doesn't that just chap your hide??

There was a news report of a woman I believe out of Houston or Austin who actually got a bill like that and she owed it. She happened to be driving in the wrong lane at the wrong time. Confused. But I received an alert also and the way it was sent, I knew it was a phish/scam/virus. Deleted it. They're using some of these news articles to produce their scams.

They never seem to miss a chance to rip us off. I don't drive anymore so I would mostly likely have a good laugh since I don't own a car.

We have EZ pass but have the auto replenish set up with Amex. My beef with them is actually with the State of DE. We go through a couple of tolls in DE a few times a year - on the shore route. EVERY time, we get a notice from DE stating that we owe tolls. All of our vehicles and trailers are registered w/EZ Pass. Every time we get the notice, I have to wait for the EZ pass statement; copy; mail with violations notice back to DE. Then get a statement from them to the effect 'oh, never mind'. What a waste of paper/postage. No other EZ pass toll that we use do we EVER have this issue - just DE. Guess I'll just keep copying/mailing.

There is now a bridge in Boston, MA (the Tobin Bridge) that you HAVE to use EZPass to pay the toll - no other option. There are no toll booths for cash anymore! If you don't have EZPass, they mail you a bill and ADD a surcharge to the toll!!! This surcharge is in addition to having to pay postage to mail check or money order to pay the toll. Get real, Massachusetts! There are some folks who don't need EZPass or don't want EZPass. Just another way for the government to get into our lives....Grrr.

I got a horrible virus right here on the QB use caution when opening anything.

In our area they are calling to tell you that you are in arrears on your electricity bill and you must pay it NOW over the phone with your trusty credit card or your electricity will be cut off immediately....Both newspaper and TV are telling people not to do that as they are phishing.
