The I-Team is getting reports from ABC7 Chicago employees getting messages like these.
They say, "We've noticed an outstanding toll amount of $12.20 on your record."
The text then prompts people to click on a link to pay the outstanding balance.

The Illinois Tollway said it will never send you a text about an outstanding amount.
These links are scams designed to steal your personal information or install malware.
If you get one of these texts, delete it and report it to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center online.
