FAIRPORT, N.Y. — A Fairport man discovered $1,000 in potentially fraudulent charges on his bank statement that appeared to be from E-Z Pass New York.
Joe Centanni found four withdrawals from his account in one day: $400, $300, $200 and $100. News10NBC Chief Investigative Reporter Berkeley Brean reviewed Centanni’s bank records, which showed the charges were made to look like legitimate E-Z Pass replenishment charges.
$1,000 in one day
“This is odd,” Centanni said when he saw the charges.
Centanni checks his accounts regularly. His E-Z Pass replenishment charges are usually $25, so when he saw the larger amounts, he called his bank, Canandaigua National Bank.
“When I talked to the girl, she said we’ve had a few other people call with the same issue,” Centanni said.
And what did that make him think?
“Well, probably something got hacked,” Centanni said.
The Thruway Authority
The Thruway Authority did not take the money and is reaching out to Centanni. The Thruway Authority said it encourages everyone to “stay vigilant” and be “cautious of scams designed to steal sensitive information.”
Centanni has three E-Z Pass accounts for three cars. To equal $1,000 in E-Z Pass tolls, a driver would have to drive the length of the Thruway from the Bronx to Pennsylvania 43 times.
“And I don’t think I’ve made that trip in many many years,” Centanni said.
Canandaigua National Bank
Canandaigua National Bank told Brean it found a handful of these kinds of cases. The bank is investigating Centanni’s case and if it can verify that he is a victim, it will replenish that money.
If you see E-Z Pass charges up to $1,000, call your bank right away, tell the Thruway Authority at 1-800-333-8655 and alert News10NBC with an email to 10investigates@whec.com.
