WA drivers flooded with fake toll texts – here’s how to protect yourself from the scam

How many bogus and threatening texts have you received in the last week over unpaid tolls?

I know I have had at least three, and the scammers appear to be getting better. At first, the texts had actual dollar amounts that I supposedly owed. The amounts didn’t make sense, and the links had the wrong URL for MyGoodToGo.com.

The bad guys are now including the real Good To Go! URL in their messages, which are threatening legal action if you don’t respond. The URL is followed by a bunch of random letters, which is a dead giveaway, but these texts are looking more and more real.

This latest scam asked me to reply with a Y, for yes, to the text and then copy the URL and put it in my web browser.

Remember, the state tolling division does not send payment requests by text. They certainly don’t threaten you with legal action. Do not be fooled. Delete and report them immediately.
