The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) has received numerous reports of a smishing scam targeting drivers with fake road toll collection texts across multiple states. These messages falsely claim the recipient owes unpaid tolls, using nearly identical wording and similar "outstanding toll amounts." The fraudulent links mimic official state toll service websites, while phone numbers change based on location. Authorities believe the scam is spreading from state to state. If you receive such a text, report it to the IC3 at www.ic3.gov.

Subaru Forester MY25 Production Update: Order Now for Base and Premium Models
Subaru has issued a critical update regarding the production of the 2025 (MY25) Forester models, including the Hybrid versions. Due to unforeseen increases in retail demand, the automaker is notifying dealers and customers that the Base and Premium trims are subject to potential closure with little or no notice. As a result, Subaru recommends that pending orders for these models be submitted as soon as possible to ensure timely processing. In contrast, the higher trims – Sport, Wilderness, Limited, and Touring – are expected to remain available for a longer period, providing some flexibility for customers interested in those configurations.
