Nevada Transportation Agencies remind consumers to avoid toll road fee scam

LAS VEGAS – The Nevada Department of Transportation and the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles are warning of a texting scheme circulating inside and outside of Nevada.

These text messages make claims of unpaid toll road fees and ask recipients to click through to a website to pay and avoid being reported to the DMV.

Nevada does not have tolls on public roads, meaning that any claims of toll road fees in the state of Nevada are illegitimate.
