Fraudsters are targeting individuals with fraudulent claims of unpaid tolls to harvest sensitive personal and financial data. The advisory clarifies that legitimate toll collection in Kansas is never conducted via unsolicited electronic messages. It explicitly instructs recipients to avoid clicking suspicious links and provides guidance on the official DriveKS payment platform, emphasizing that official communication only occurs through verified account channels and user-selected notification preferences. The notice concludes with actionable advice on how to respond if one encounters a scam, specifically recommending immediate deletion of the message and caution against the pressure tactics often employed by cybercriminals, such as the use of urgent warnings or threats of penalties.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":57,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/general/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/toll-text-scam-official-warning-and-advisory/309091/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/toll-text-scam-official-warning-and-advisory/309091.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Ben ","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-21","2026-09-20",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":34},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"Are Kansas tolls ever collected via text message?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"No, Kansas tolls are never collected through unsolicited texts, instant messages, or emails.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"What should I do if I receive a suspicious toll-related text?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"Do not click on any links, do not provide any personal or payment information, and delete the message immediately.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"How does the official DriveKS system communicate with users?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"Official communication regarding unpaid tolls or account status occurs only if you have established a DriveKS account and opted into notifications through authorized channels.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},309091,1790219074,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":56,"category_name":57,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":34,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":8,"language":139,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":140,"faqs":141,"seo_title":142,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":143,"read_time":14},2336478951081,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_276721f389ce27ea32af1340a28f341c","We want to inform you of nationwide text message scams in which fraudsters impersonate state agencies, including the Kansas Division of Motor Vehicles ( DMV) and the Kansas Department of Transportation ( KDOT) . These text messages falsely claim recipients owe unpaid tolls and are sent at random to individuals in an attempt to steal personal and financial information. Please note that Kansas tolls are never collected through unsolicited texts, instant messages, or emails.  \nDriveKS is Kansas' official toll payment system, operated by the Kansas Turnpike Authority. Official communication regarding unpaid tolls or account status will direct you to log into your secure DriveKS account or contact customer service directly. You receive this communication if you've established a DriveKS account and opted into notifications, either through self-service channels or when contacting DriveKS customer service. You control your communication preferences and can opt out at any time.  \nWhat to do if you receive a scam message:  \n Do NOT click on any links in the text message.  \n Do NOT provide any personal or payment information.  \n Delete the message immediately.  \nText message scams such as these are successful because they attempt to scare people into acting quickly, often using language like ‘final notice’ or referencing threatening penalties.","cbCaijkorSCCSnip","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijkorSCCSnip","pdf",47355,"English","# Understanding Toll Text Scams\n## Identifying Fraudulent Communications\n## Official Toll Collection Procedures\n## Recommended Actions Against Scams","[{\"question\":\"Are Kansas tolls ever collected via text message?\",\"answer\":\"No, Kansas tolls are never collected through unsolicited texts, instant messages, or emails.\"},{\"question\":\"What should I do if I receive a suspicious toll-related text?\",\"answer\":\"Do not click on any links, do not provide any personal or payment information, and delete the message immediately.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the official DriveKS system communicate with users?\",\"answer\":\"Official communication regarding unpaid tolls or account status occurs only if you have established a DriveKS account and opted into notifications through authorized channels.\"}]","TOLL-TEXT-SCAM - Official Warning and Advisory | PDF",1789873183]
