On February 27, 2025, the Attorney General of Arkansas office alerted Arkansans to a resurfacing scam targeting mobile phone users through fraudulent text messages. Those behind the text messages are posing as toll service providers to steal personal information and trick recipients into making fake payments.

According to the Attorney General of Arkansas office, this scam, first seen in Arkansas in 2024, is making a comeback. The messages claim the recipient owes unpaid toll fees and provides a link for payment. However, Arkansas does not have toll roads, making these messages fraudulent.

“If you get one of these texts, please fill out the robocall reporting form on my website, and do not send payment to any entity that only contacts you via text,” Attorney General Tim Griffin said.
