FROM OHIO TURNPIKE AND RESPOND WITH A "Y" SEND, THEN COPY LINK TO GO
TO PAYMENT PAGE

THERE ARE ALWAYS OCCURRENCES AND OBSTACLES ARISING WHEN THE GOING
GETS GOOD, THEY OBSTACLES HAVE AN AGENDA A "NOTE TO SELF" TASK
LIST OF WAYS TO INTERCEPT TOUCHDOWNS! "HONK HONK"

HERE WE HAVE SOME INFORMATION ON SCAM TEXTS BEING SENT FOR TOLL PAYMENTS

"Unaware of a scam purporting to collect unpaid Ohio tolls, Lori McCarthy of Trenton, Ohio, responded to a text Sunday that said her vehicle had an outstanding toll charge and to avoid paying an excessive late fee of $69.99, she should settle her balance of $6.99.

“I just followed the link, put in my information, and when I did that, the screen just went blank,” she said Monday. “So I did it again and it went blank again.”

This prompted her to research turnpike toll information, and she first learned there was an ongoing scam.
