Scam Alert: Toll Fee Text Scam​

Ohio Turnpike Alerts Customers of SMS/Text ‘Smishing’ Scam Targeting Multiple Tolling Agencies BEREA, Ohio

(April 22, 2024) – The Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission has learned that a text message scam, known as “smishing,” is fraudulently claiming to represent tolling agencies from across the country. The scammers are requesting payment for unpaid tolls through fraudulent websites.

The targeted phone numbers appear to be chosen at random and are not uniquely associated with an account or usage of toll roads. Some customers have also reported receiving emails through phishing scams.The Ohio Turnpike does NOT request its E-ZPass customers to make payments by text.

Collections of unpaid tolls and/or toll violations do NOT occur by text either.The only website links associated with the Ohio Turnpike’s E-ZPass accounts areezpassoh.com and ohioturnpike.org.

The FBI, which is aware of the smishing scam impacting several states, recommends individuals who receive the fraudulent messages do the following:
• Contact the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and be sure to
include: The phone number from where the text originated.o Contact the tolling agency’s customer service center.
• Delete any smishing texts received.
• If you clicked any link or provided your information, take efforts to secure your personal information and financial accounts. Dispute any unfamiliar charges.

We encourage all customers to stay alert to these types of phishing scams by text and email.

Buckeye Heroes: Mike Nugent is undoubtedly the best kicker in Ohio State history​

The 2004 Lou Groza Award winner holds most of the school’s kicking records.

There are so many challenges college football coaches have to deal with on and off the field. One of those on the field challenges is finding a reliable place kicker.

Even if you think you have a kicker who is nearly automatic, it seems to never fail that they end up missing when the game is on the line. Just look at Noah Ruggles in the 2022 season, where he was 17-19 before missing a really tough 50-yard field goal with the Buckeyes trailing Georgia by a point late in the fourth quarter.

When it comes to the most reliable kicker in Ohio State history, there is no doubt who has earned that title. Aside from career and single season field goal percentage, which are both held by Ruggles, Mike Nugent holds pretty much every other Ohio State kicking record. Nugent came to Ohio State from Centerville, where he was a teammate of linebacker A.J. Hawk.

Heading into the 2001 season, not only was Jim Tressel trying to find his footing as he transitioned from Youngstown State to Ohio State, the Buckeyes were looking for a new kicker. Mike Nugent and Josh Huston battled it out for the starting position, with Nugent eventually winning the job.

The first year for Nugent wasn’t anything special statistically, as he was 7-14 in field goals and 23-25 on extra points. Luckily for Nugent, Tressel had some patience with the kicker since not only was Nugent a freshman, the Buckeyes were just 7-5 in Tressel’s first season in Columbus.

The 2002 season is where Nugent started to break out and assert himself as one of the top kickers in the country. Not only did Nugent hit 25 of his 28 field goal attempts, he hit all but one of his 46 extra point attempts. Nugent finished the season with 120 total points on an Ohio State team that went on to upset Miami in the BCS National Championship Game.

Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel is now the favorite to win the Heisman Trophy with +750 odds at ESPN BET after moving past Georgia quarterback Carson Beck and Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers in an atypical July change for college football's highest honor.

Top Heisman Trophy Odds​

PLAYER, SCHOOL ODDS
Dillon Gabriel, Oregon +750
Carson Beck, Georgia +800
Quinn Ewers, Texas +900
Jaxson Dart, Ole Miss +1500
Will Howard, Ohio State +1600
Nico Iamaleava, Tennessee +1600
Jalen Milroe, Alabama +1600
Garrett Nussmeier, LSU +2200
Cameron Ward, Miami +2200
Conner Weigman, Texas A&M +2200

Beck and Ewers, who had been the favorites since February, are +800 and +900, respectively.

Gabriel began July with 10-1 odds at ESPN BET. He had been as long as 14-1 at other sportsbooks before an uptick of action showed up on the Ducks quarterback over the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

The SuperBook in Las Vegas started receiving bets on Gabriel on Sunday, causing his odds to tighten from 14-1 to 9-1.

"I think there were some maybe influential people that hopped on it and said they liked it on some public spaces," Chase Michaelson, oddsmaker for the SuperBook, told ESPN. "It's people we respect that like Gabriel, and I think there are lots of reasons to like him."

Gabriel has put up gaudy numbers at Oklahoma and UCF. He passed for 3,660 yards with 30 touchdowns and six interceptions with the Sooners last season before transferring to Oregon, where he inherits what's expected to be an explosive Ducks offense.

More money has been bet on Gabriel to win the Heisman than any other player at ESPN BET. At BetMGM sportsbooks, the senior has attracted more than twice as much money as any other player offered in the Heisman odds since July 4.

Gabriel, at +750, would have the longest odds of any Heisman favorite entering the season in the past 15 years, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.
