The toll bill with a QR code to scanQR PHISHING
A real scam people fell for this year, next to the real thing. The numbers mark the three things to check: hover or tap one to see what it tells you.
Hi Alex,
Your October statement is ready. Amount due: $18.40 by November 5.
To view or pay it, sign in to My Account at 407etr.com.
Your 407 ETR account has an unpaid toll balance of $18.40 from trips on Sept 28.
Scan the QR code below with your phone camera to pay.
If not paid within 48 hours, a $45 late fee is added and your plate may be denied at renewal.
Always check the QR code.
It wants you to scan a code with your phone to pay, so the link skips your computer's checks and you never see where it goes. And the sender isn't 407 ETR.
no-reply@407etr.com is 407 ETR's own address.
billing@407etr-tollnotice.com has 407 ETR in its name, but 407 ETR doesn't own it.
Sign in to My Account at 407etr.com yourself to pay.
Scan a QR code with your phone and pay there.
A due date weeks away.
48 hours, then a late fee and trouble renewing your plate.
RememberNever scan a QR code in an email to pay or sign in. Type the company's address yourself.
