Recognizing Suspicious Activity
We communicate with our customers in a variety of ways. Unfortunately, scammers are sophisticated and may impersonate 407 ETR to trick you into taking an action that could allow them to steal your data. These scams can include fraudulent text messages, social media posts, websites, print letters and telephone calls.
Things we do
These are the types of communications you may see from 407 ETR.
We send payment reminder text messages from a six-digit short code. Messages don’t contain any personal or account information and include a link to our secure payment web page. Our texts never include a direct link to pay.
We make outbound automated payment reminder calls. The call doesn’t ask for personal information and gives instructions to log into My Account to view and pay your bill.
We send emails from info@407etr.com or communications@407etr.com. We reach out to contest winners from our official social media channels and sometimes by phone. From time to time, we send print letters.
Things we don't do
These are things you'll never see in our communications.
We’ll never ask for personal information such as passwords, PINs or credit cards through any contact method.
Our communications will never contain a link to any website domain other than 407 etr.com or ask for a direct payment using a link.
Our communications will never contain urgent or threatening language or pressure you into taking an action.
