1Where it livesCheck firstIs it the real company's or person's own address or number?

e-zpassny.com is E-ZPass New York's own site.

ezpass-toll-services.top has E-ZPass in its name, but E-ZPass doesn't own it.

2What it asks you to doDoes it want a password, a payment, a call, or a tap?

It asks for your toll bill number and plate, to look up a bill that exists.

It wants your card number for a $4.15 bill it never looked up.

3How hard it pushesIs there a deadline, a threat, or a surprise charge?

No deadline and no threat on the page.

Pay today, or a $50 late fee and a hold on your car registration.

RememberNever pay a toll from a text message link. Type your toll agency's address yourself, or call the number on your statement.
