The Illinois Tollway is warning drivers about a widespread “smishing” scam targeting customers who use the I-PASS system.

Truck drivers in Illinois have enough dangers to watch out for on the roads every day and now they need to beware of a new threat through their phone. The feds are warning drivers in the Land of Lincoln of a new text scam that is targeting them and is especially a problem in Illinois.

Just when you think a text scam has been beaten, it returns and is worse than ever.

If you think that managing your Illinois I-PASS is a big pain, don't worry because I have a much easier way for you to do it.

When I was a kid, my step-dad would let me throw the coins into toll booth baskets from the back seat when we went on trips. I was no Chasson Randle, but usually we weren't going too fast, so it was hard to miss. If you did miss though, you had better hope you had extra coins handy, or you were getting out of your car and doing the crawl of shame...
