Emails sent from former Indiana government accounts are requesting payment unpaid tolls. If you receive one, don't click any links or provide any payment info. They are a scam. More in my latest for IndyStar. www.indystar.com/story/news/2...

Did you get an email from an Indiana government agency about unpaid tolls? It's a scam.

If the Indiana Department of Child Services emailed you to collect an unpaid toll, do not click any links. It's a scam sent from a hacked email address.
