TOPEKA— Authorities with the Kansas Turnpike Authorities are alerting the public of a new scam.

This new smishing text campaign using DriveKS images surfaced Tuesday, according to the Kansas Turpike Authority.

If you receive a text like this image do not click link or respond in any way. Remember, the Kansas Turnpike Authority does not send unsolicited text messages and does not charge fees like those mentioned in the image.

In July, the Kansas Turnpike converted to cashless tolling. Those fees are collected by mail.
