If you recently got a text from an unknown number warning you about unpaid SunPass tolls, officials want you to know it was probably a scam. “Smishing,” or SMS phishing, is when fraudsters try to obtain your personal information through a text message. According to the Federal Trade Commission, the text might include a dollar amount for how much you supposedly owe, as well as a link. Clicking the link will take you to a page to enter your bank account or credit card information. “SunPass wants to remind customers to be careful of text messages or other communications that demand immediate payment for unpaid toll balances,“ the Florida Department of Transportation, which runs the electronic toll collection system, wrote in an advisory on its website.

The Miami Dolphins have their next position coach who will be tasked with getting Tyreek Hill’s unit in order. Experienced NFL assistant coach Robert Prince is being hired by the Dolphins as wide receivers coach, according to a league source, confirming the initial NFL Network report. Prince, who comes over after spending the last three seasons in the same role with the Dallas Cowboys, was first reported by ESPN on Thursday as interviewing for the job during the week. Miami had a vacancy for the position after firing former wide receiver Wes Welker following his third season controlling the unit under coach Mike McDaniel. It was an underwhelming 2024 season for Dolphins wide receivers, with Hill falling short of 1,000 receiving yards for the first time since 2019 and Jaylen Waddle missing the mark for the first time in his four-year professional career in Miami. To add to that, Hill had a falling out with the organization following the team’s loss to the New York Jets in its season finale and elimination that same night.
