I keep getting spam e-mails saying that I'm overdrawn on my EZ Pass- I don't have one on my car, DH has one on his, which we have used maybe once after opening the account with a required deposit. At no time did we connect anything with my e-mail. I don't open this stuff. Has this happened to anyone else? We have no one else with access to our car. Scam, I'm thinking... 4951

@mamamiaow: If you have the account info from when you put the deposit, you should be able to check it online.  We get a monthly statement, but we specifically signed up for that, so what you're getting is  a scam. That's odd too, because Texas is EZ TAG, not EZ Pass, although other states have EZ Pass.

@mamamiaow:   When you sign up for an EZ Tag/Pass, you provide either a credit card info or a bank account info.  The agency then charges that account.  Usually, they charge something like $35 at a time and use that until it's used up.  I monitor my EZTag account online.  They did notify me after we got new credit cards and forgot to update our CC info.  But if they were never given your email address, it must be spam.

@Amy:
 
That is the website. Just look up the number yourself and call them. Don't use the number in the email. Or you can stop into an Eztag store. 4951

@Amy:BooBear is right, do not click on anything in the email or call any of the numbers the email gives.  I would call EZTag store in the morning or go by their store and discuss it with a actual representative.  It could be as RE says, you may have trouble with the credit card or the account, they will fix it for you. 4951

You know it is a scam because it is a EZ Tag in houston not a pass. It was on the news that this is a national scam and when you click the link the virus loads and send personal information from your computer. If you clicked it, you need to get the virus off asap! 4951

It's spam. Google it - I got one from an account we had back in PA. One that I closed, and was reimbursed for, at least 10 months ago. 4951
