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.
