I received a text that says I failed to pay a toll

it reads:.

Sunpass: Our records indicate that you have an unpaid toll trip. please make an online payment at
HTTPS://sunpasstollpay.com to avoid excessive late fees.

I have the Illinois toll transponder and have NOT been to Florida where this company collects tolls.
I have not touched the link in the message.

Went to the Sunpass site to see about what info they have on me, but I have to enter my plate number.
So I backed outta that!

Any suggestions? Is it safe? Reminds me of "Marathon Man" with Laurence Olivier saying 'Is it safe'?

Suburban U.S. Rep Sean Casten’s 17-year-old daughter died Monday morning at the family’s Downers Grove home, the congressman’s office and Downers Grove police said this evening.

“This morning, congressman Casten’s beloved daughter, Gwen, passed away,” the Casten campaign said in a statement. “The Casten family requests privacy, and we will be issuing no further comment during this heartbreaking time.”

Downers Grove police were called to a house in the block where Casten lives just before 7 a.m. Monday “for an unresponsive seventeen year old female,” according to a Police Department statement. “First responders determined that the subject was deceased.”

The New Dark Age

We’re Going to Have a New Dark Age — Unless We Have a New Enlightenment

We Need to Get Serious About Fixing the Future If We Don’t Want it to Get Much Worse, Faster

If things feel grim out there, it’s because they are. We’re entering a new Dark Age, and we need a series of Enlightenments to fight our way out of it. Or else it’s lights out for our civilization. If you doubt me, take a hard look at the world’s richest country, America — which is essentially a poor country descending into ignorance, hate, and fascism, all over again. America teaches us where we might all end up, if we’re not careful: caught in a cycle of economic despair, the fascist hate it breeds, and the denial that allows it to flourish.
How did we get here, to this grim and strange juncture in history? There’s a certain person in the world whom I’ve come to have a great deal of respect for, in the midst of this crisis. Listen to what he had to say about our current era:
“For the first time in 30 years, poverty is rising. Human development indicators are declining.”
“Huh?” You might say, baffled. “So what?” But to an economist like me, that spells deep, deep trouble. It tells me that our global economy no longer works, in the most profound ways possible. Think about what the above really means with me for a moment — let me put in context.
You might think, like some Americans still do: “well, at least destroying the planet and letting billionaires duck taxes made us rich!” The truth is that it didn’t even do that. In fact, now we are getting poorer. That is what “poverty is rising” means.

Something I found and thought I'd share.

How a shocking environmental disaster was uncovered after 70 years

Just 10 miles off the coast of Los Angeles lurks an environmental disaster over 70 years in the making, which few have ever heard about. That is, until now, thanks to the research of a University of California marine scientist named David Valentine.

Working with little more than rumors and a hunch, curiosity guided him 3,000 feet below the ocean's surface. A few hours of research time and an autonomous robotic submersible unearthed what had been hidden since the 1940s: countless barrels of toxic waste, laced with DDT, littering the ocean floor in between Long Beach and Catalina Island.

I seem to remember hearing about this in the 70's. Pictures are in the article, couldn't place a pic, sorry.
