CHICAGO — Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul is warning residents to watch for scam text messages that claim recipients owe money for traffic or tollway violations, saying the messages are designed to steal personal and financial information. The office reports scammers may use phone numbers that appear local or official and may include links to fake websites or malware. Officials advise residents not to respond to unsolicited messages, not to share personal or financial information, and not to click links or attachments. Residents are urged to verify any claims through official government websites and to monitor bank, credit card, and tollway accounts for suspicious activity. The office also encourages anyone who believes they are a victim of fraud to file a complaint with the Attorney General or federal authorities.
