How E-ZPass New York phishing works
Phishing against E-ZPass New York follows patterns common to government & public services. Typical lures:
- A "refund", "overdue balance" or "unclaimed benefit" message with a link to a fake portal.
- A toll or fine notice by text with a short link and a tight payment deadline.
- A call or message from a "case officer" threatening arrest or deportation unless you pay.
- A request to "verify your identity" for benefits, student aid or a travel programme.
Red flags
- Government agencies do not demand payment by gift card, crypto or text link.
- Official sites end in .gov; lookalikes use .com, .xyz, .top or words like "refund" and "pay".
- The first contact is a text or an unsolicited call rather than a letter or your own online account.
Real E-ZPass New York domains
If the address in your browser is not one of these (or a subdomain of them), it is not E-ZPass New York. The list is not exhaustive.

Do not pay. If you shared your SSN or ID, place a fraud alert or credit freeze, and report it at reportfraud.ftc.gov and identitytheft.gov. Reach the agency through its official .gov website.
Protecting a brand like E-ZPass New York from lookalike domains
If you run security, brand or fraud for a company that is copied this way, this is the order that works in practice:
- Enforce DMARC. Move your policy to quarantine, then reject, so attackers cannot send mail that passes as your domain.
- Watch new registrations. Lookalikes appear daily; the earlier you see one, the sooner you can act, ideally before the first email goes out.
- Register the obvious typos and keyword variants you can afford to hold, and check which lookalikes are already registered by someone else.
- Report fast. A live fake needs a request to the registrar and host, plus a report to browser safe-browsing lists and the public feeds shown above.
- Tell your customers where you will and will not ask for logins, codes or payments.

We read the daily list of newly registered domains (1,050,000 domains over the last 15 days) and flag those that contain the brand name, differ by one character or swap look-alike characters. A match is a warning sign, not proof of abuse.
How can a company protect its own brand from lookalike domains like these?
Publish an enforced DMARC policy so nobody can send mail as your domain, monitor newly registered domains that resemble your name, register the obvious typo domains, and file takedown requests with the registrar, host and browser safe-browsing lists when a fake goes live. PhishPin's free brand audit checks the first three for your domain.
