In the scam email, customers are urged to click on a fake invoice and website not affiliated with SunPass.
According to SunPass officials at Florida's Turnpike Enterprise, customers will never receive toll invoices through email, only via U.S. Mail. Users are urged to log-on to the official SunPass website at www.SunPass.com to get a look at whether they really owe any past due tolls.
