It was wild how quickly the E-Z Pass scammers knew that I had been on a road trip and passed through those tolls. I live in TX and drove to MA for Christmas last year and these started right when I got back. They are almost def on the inside at this point.
A friend of mine got evicted illegally from the homeless shelter and got a moderately sized settlement which was a challenge for him to receive because he made it to his 50s without ever getting a bank account.
He started getting scam texts from someone who kept needing money to get a bus ticket to visit him and one time claimed to be at the local airport needing money for a cab ride. One of our friends convinced him to take a cab to the airport himself to meet this "person" who wasn't there.
We were thinking that they might have targeted him based on public records but I can say in the last few months I've met five people who are think are scammers sending me DMs on the like of Mastodon, Bluesky and Tumblr.

Not sure if they are smart or just lucky.
