While Michigan doesn't have toll roads, the scam still targeted residents, especially those who recently traveled through neighboring states, Indiana, Ohio or Illinois.

The new system also brought more toll scam messages to the state. The Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission released a fact sheet in August warning Ohioans of the text message scams. It also suspended all late fees, collections and vehicle registration holds for unpaid tolls to give drivers a grace period to adjust to the new toll system.
