Beware of nationwide text scams impersonating state agencies like the Kansas DMV and the Department of Transportation. These messages falsely claim you owe unpaid tolls and attempt to steal your personal or financial information. Kansas tolls are never collected through unsolicited texts, emails, or instant messages.
DriveKS is the official toll payment system operated by the Kansas Turnpike Authority. Any real communication about unpaid tolls will direct you to securely log into your DriveKS account or contact customer service. You are receiving this message because you have a DriveKS account and opted in to receive notifications. You can manage or opt out of these preferences at any time.
If you receive a suspicious message:
- Do not click any links.
- Do not share personal or payment details.
- Delete the message immediately.
These scams often use urgent language like “final notice” to pressure people into acting quickly. If you suspect a message is fraudulent, report it to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).
Stay alert—scammers frequently change tactics. Protect your information and remain cautious of unexpected messages.
