The Kansas Turnpike Authority in a media release issued an alert to drivers on a potential email scam.

Officials say it is disguised as an E-ZPass request for payment of unpaid tolls and is making its way into in-boxes across the country.

This email attempts to steal personal information by stating the recipient is ‘in arrears for driving on toll road’ or gives ‘a notice to appear’ and includes a bogus invoice.

K-TAG accounts are not part of the E-ZPass toll collection system.

According to the Turnpike Authority, if you receive this email, they advise you to not open or respond to it.

The safest thing to do is to delete the email.
