If you received a letter from something called Toll Enforcement, LLC, demanding payment for overdue highway tolls, ignore it. It’s a flim-flam
The official-looking warning letters began arriving in the mail last week to dozens, perhaps hundreds or even thousands of people.
The Final Warning Notices instruct recipients to send a cashier’s check or money order for $57 to an address near Doral as payment for outstanding tolls of $7 —plus a $50 fee. Do it, the letter warns, or face immobilization of your vehicle, suspension of your driver’s license or additional fees of $500.
It’s a scam.
Says who? Says the the Florida Department of Transportation — that’s who. It is trying to track down the perpetrators, who call themselves Toll Enforcement, LLC.
No such company is listed on the Florida Division of Corporations website.
Calls to two phone numbers listed on the fake warning notices, one in Miami and the other in Tallahassee, were not answered Tuesday. The one in Miami had voicemail but no one returned the call. The one in Tallahassee just rang and no one picked up.
