KUALA LUMPUR: A man was duped by a fake Facebook Marketplace posting after discovering that the money he paid had been transferred to accounts unrelated to the purported seller. Wangsa Maju OCPD Asst Comm Mohamad Lazim Ismail said in a statement on Sunday (March 15) that the victim told police he had come across an advertisement for a motorcycle on March 12. He then communicated with the seller and made payments into two separate bank accounts before being instructed to meet in person to finalise the deal. "However, when the complainant intended to take the motorcycle home, the seller claimed he had not received any payment, stating that the accounts which received the funds were unrelated and unknown to him.

Washington, March 13, 2026 House Committee on Financial Services Chairman French Hill (AR-02) and Subcommittee on Financial Institutions Chairman Andy Barr (KY-06) issued the following statement in support of President Trump's Executive Order expanding access to mortgage credit:  “I commend President Trump’s Executive Order Promoting Access to Mortgage Credit. The President and his Administration have shown tremendous leadership in helping to ensure that community banks and credit unions can once again participate fully in the mortgage lending market and expand access to affordable home loans for American families. Since the enactment of Dodd-Frank, community banks and credit unions have increasingly scaled back their mortgage lending due to burdensome and complex regulatory requirements. Excessive and unnecessary HMDA data collection mandates, overly prescriptive Ability to Repay and Qualified Mortgages rules, restrictive capital requirements, needless supervisory restrictions on lending to homebuilders, and outdated appraisal requirements are clear examples of misguided Washington policies that have crippled our community lenders. That is why it is so important to recognize that strengthening community banks and credit unions– key providers of mortgages for many Americans – and expanding access to affordable housing are fundamentally connected.  » Read More

Judging by more than 16,400 comments recently posted on a federal government website, you’d think there was a groundswell of older Americans demanding that federal officials hike payments to their Medicare Advantage health insurance plans. Yet about 82% of the comments are identical to a letter that appeared on the website of a secretive advocacy group called Medicare Advantage Majority, a data analysis by KFF Health News has found. The “dark money” group does not reveal its funders or much else — other than to say it is “dedicated to protecting and strengthening Medicare Advantage” and is “powered by hundreds of thousands of local advocates nationwide.” “Our campaign provides information and offers tools for concerned Americans to use to reach decision makers,” spokesperson Darren Grubb said in an email. The group has spent more than $3.1 million on hundreds of Facebook ads since September 2024, according to Facebook’s Ad Library, a database of the social media company’s online ads.
