The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has once again warned iPhone and Android users in the US to delete any text that remotely appears like a scam, according to a report in Forbes. As per the federal agency, the scam “may be moving from state-to-state” and if it wasn’t already in the city where you live, chances were high that it might be around soon.

The modus operandi of the scammers is simple. The victim first receives an innocuous-looking text from a toll agency, stating that they owed some money for unpaid tolls which needed to be paid immediately. Upon clicking on the said payment link, the victim is taken to a page that prompts them to type in their bank account or credit card account information.
