Is this a new scam?

Got this in my SMS. Actually I got 2. This one originated in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the other was from the UK. Both claim that I have money owed them because of my EZ Pass. Problem? I canceled that years ago as I no longer drive.

It's a phishing scam, thinking that you'll try to pay online, and give them your credit/debit card info.

Just a warning.
