MASSACHUSETTS – Local police are warning residents about increasingly sophisticated scams involving fake toll and ticket violations. Authorities say scammers are sending texts that appear to come from the Commonwealth, claiming victims owe money tied to the “Boston Municipal Court,” complete with a judge’s name and case number.
Officials say there are clear warning signs, including urgent demands for payment, QR codes for payment, and threats of jail time or credit damage. Police stress that none of these tactics are used by legitimate government agencies, and residents should avoid engaging with suspicious messages.
