    Got this exact one a few days ago. And a call from Thailand. And of course, my tolls are once again unpaid. I really feel sorry for older people. The scam situation is out of control.

      Lol! My partner got the toll one last night - we don’t own a car nor drive 😂

      I also feel bad for the oldies, it’s fucked how many of these texts are sent

        The toll ones are especially funny in Perth - there are no toll roads in WA. 😃

        The toll one is odd, I never got that particular one until I made a rare and very short trip (like one junction) on Eastlink a couple of weeks ago. I’ve had five scam texts since then. If you go on the Eastlink website there’s a big red ‘priority alert’ warning at the top of the page, so they’re obviously aware of it, but it seems to me that their system is compromised somehow.
