THOMASTON — The Thomaston Police Department has issued a scam alert to warn residents of a new fraudulent scheme mimicking the EZ-Pass scam, but without specifying any toll authority.
The latest scam comes with a twist—the sender’s email address ends with a .ru domain, pointing to Russian origins.
Authorities advise the public not to interact with the email, warning that any response would verify the recipient’s phone number as active.
Following the included link could lead to theft of personal and financial information.
Residents are urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious emails resembling this scam to the Thomaston Police Department.
The police also remind the community not to share personal information or make payments based on unsolicited requests.
