EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- A new type of scam is targeting El Pasoans via text.

Since March 2024, the FBI says it has received over 2,000 complaints about texts representing road toll collection services across three states.

If you receive one of these texts, contact the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) to file a complaint at www.ic3.gov.
