I was just going to post what you said . The site looked pretty professional, I almost paid and I’ve never come close to paying any of the other scams , . When I called the real number it took only a few minutes to get to a live operator ,I was very impressed and yes she told me it was scam .the text was listed as junk on my iPhone but it looked so impressive I still almost fell for it

I received an e-mail from Sun Pass just today stating that they would never ask for payment via text and that they haven't been hacked to date.

This is the email I received from SunPass


To our valued SunPass customers, please note that SunPass does not ask customers via text to make a payment or to take immediate action on their account. If SunPass needs to contact its customers, it will appear as follows:

SunPass has been made aware that there is a phishing scam targeting the general public. To our knowledge SunPass has not been compromised and we are diligently monitoring the system. The scam uses text messages requesting prompt payment to avoid fees. The messages also contain a link to a fraudulent website in an attempt to collect information. These messages are not sent by SunPass.

Sincerely,
SunPass Customer Service Center
