Got one of those “unpaid toll” scam texts yesterday:
A few points:
I haven’t been on a toll road in years. Once those greedy
bastards raised the tolls at the Toll Plaza on the Dulles Toll Road to $4.25
(it’s now $6) and the individual exits to $1 (now $2), I noped out. If I used
that highway to go to my hair stylist in Arlington, it would add $16 to the
tab. That’s not happening.
The country code for that phone indicates it’s in Lesotho. AFAIK,
that country is not directly associated with the DTR or EZ PASS.
It’s a group text. Um.
No idea what the 💯emoji
is meant to connote. Maybe it's a Lesotho thing?
It's kind of rude to give all of us on that group text only one day to pay our fines or suffer consequences.
The thanks for “cooperation” is kind of a nice touch. But
if they want to be really au courant, it should be “Thank you for your
attention to this matter!”
