  • Highway Robbery: Anatomy of a Toll Road Scam

    Highway Robbery: Anatomy of a Toll Road Scam
    Apr 14 2026
    It starts with a ping on your phone: "According to our records, you have an outstanding toll charge." It looks official, cites municipal codes, and threatens a late fee or legal action if the balance remains unpaid. But there’s a catch. You haven't been to that state recently, if at all. On this episode of AutoVision News Radio, Carl Anthony examines the recent surge of toll-related text scams. Drawing from his latest reporting for technology website How-To Geek, Carl explains why these "smishing" attacks are so effective and how scammers exploit our desire to be law-abiding citizens to steal sensitive financial data. In this AV Radio episode:
    • The Spray-and-Pray Method: Why you're getting texts from states you've never visited.
    • Red Flags: How to spot the differences between a fake URL and a legitimate agency site.
    • Verification vs. Panic: Safe ways to check your account status without falling into a trap.
    • Protective Steps: What to do if you continue to receive these messages.

  • “I Read Them All” ft. Sam Klemet of the Detroit Auto Show

    “I Read Them All” ft. Sam Klemet of the Detroit Auto Show
    Dec 31 2025
    My Drive. My City. My Show. Although written as three individual statements as part of the high-octane creative campaign around the Detroit Auto Show, we could easily rephrase them as questions. For us in The 313, what does our drive look like? What should our city be? And what does our show—the Detroit Auto Show—mean to us? Sam Klemet, Executive Director of the Detroit Auto Dealers Association, joins AV Radio host Carl Anthony for a heartfelt discussion about the 2026 Detroit Auto Show and the immersive experience that awaits attendees. A journalist by nature, Sam recalls his early days in radio and his tenure as President and CEO of the Michigan Association of Broadcasters, and how those experiences prepared him to eventually helm the Detroit Auto Show. He also shares the legacy he hopes the Detroit Auto Show will one day leave and why, when it comes to criticisms of the event, it’s essential to “read them all.” More Resources: Detroit Auto Show Website: https://detroitautoshow.com/ My Drive.
