SPAM issue - Toll by Plate

[Snook]

I recently received 'TOLL-BY-PLATE' invoice.. it was for a trip taken a couple months ago on the Florida Turnpike.

TOLL-BY-PLATE has taken the place of many toll booths in south Florida. Magically, they take a picture of every vehicle going thru a section of road where there once was a toll booth and then, if you don't have speed pass or the like, sending each vehicle owner a bill for using their road. the bill is for the toll and then 'Current Toll Charges' - very close to double what the toll should have been $1.28> toll, $2.50 <Current Toll Charges.. there was no previous balance.. $3.78 total.

Why do you want to know this? when going to pay the 'toll$+' I had to input an email address. I used one specifically obtained a month or so ago for this type of internet requirement and never used b4 to send emails and the only emails received are the 2 'welcome' emails from the email provider. that was yesterday, today I have had 21 spam emails. Government will do anything to make a buck. get a speed pass or whatever you have in your state or the toll doubles.

lol. those ****s. i just use gmail they handle all the spam, but yeah the govt and anyone else only sees you as a tool they'll sell your info drop of a hat. are you sure you're reading the bill right? it's not just for when you're in the southern part of the state where they eliminated toll booths, but on the other toll roads too if you didn't have money/change they send you a bill in the mail. i had outstanding tolls for over a year and when i eventually paid it it was only for the toll amount and like 50 cents worth of late fees and taxes.

these toll roads down here stack up pretty fast, i dropped $15 going from ft lauterdale to miami.

the matrix wasn't exactly right when morpheus said the machine sees us as batteries. more like cogs in a machine.
