We continue to be aware of online scams involving email / text messages about tolls or tolling accounts.
Some of these scam email / text messages mention EastLink or may even closely resemble a genuine EastLink email / text message.
A genuine email / text message sent by EastLink would always include relevant and correct personal information (e.g. your full name AND vehicle rego or EastLink account number). Links would also be direct to the genuine EastLink website domain "eastlink.com.au".
If you receive an email / text message about EastLink tolls or tolling accounts that do not include correct personal information (e.g. your name AND vehicle rego or EastLink account number) or include links to domains other than "eastlink.com.au", then it is a scam. It was not sent by EastLink. Do not click on any links or reply to the email / text message. There is no need to contact EastLink to report it.
