At first glance, the Facebook group "Oregon History (State)" looks harmless; a place where locals gather to share old photos of logging camps, coastal towns, and vintage streetcars. With tens of thousands of members, it feels like the kind of community where Oregonians really get to connect over their shared past. A prime example of a shill Facebook group. These groups (like the above "I Love Oregon") look like a quaint digital scrapbook. Scroll for two minutes, though, and you’ll start to wonder if the only “history” here is the long tradition of internet scams. Scratch the surface and you’ll find something far more troubling: a phishing operation hiding in plain sight. Stolen Content is Your First Clue If you're a member of any of the truly awesome Oregon History groups available to peruse on Facebook, you'll know and immediately recognize frequent high-effort posters. The ones who know how to really dig into their research and post beautiful, quality content. Photographers who may travel miles to capture the Milky Way from the perfect vantage point at Crater Lake.  » Read More

Democrat Jamie Ager (left), who is running for the District 11 House seat held by Republican Chuck Edwards. Morris "Moe" Davis (right) withdrew from the Democratic primary for the race Saturday, complaining of the party's favoritism. // Photo credits: Screenshot from Ager's announcement video; wikimedia commons, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ In a grievance-laced midnight Facebook post, Democratic congressional candidate Moe Davis dropped out of the race Saturday, effectively positioning Fairview farmer Jamie Ager as the party’s frontrunner to take on Republican Rep. Chuck Edwards in the 2026 general election in the state’s 11th Congressional District. Davis’s decision came just hours before he, Ager and three lesser-known candidates were to address a Democratic Party fundraiser marking the unofficial kickoff to the primary campaign. The NC-11 Gala had become entangled in an intraparty feud ignited by Davis, who protested that party leaders were positioning Ager as the favorite by giving him a keynote speaking spot at the dinner.  Ager, the CEO of the historic Hickory Nut Gap Farms and a member of a politically prominent family, has previously said he was unaware of any favoritism and welcomes primary challengers.  » Read More

Samuel Corum/Getty Images News/Getty Images A FINRA-suspended broker known as “K Money” was arrested and faces charges of defrauding social media followers of more than $800,000. According to the Justice Department, Kenneth Thom was charged with securities and investment advisor fraud and faces 20 years in prison. U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton said that Thom “used social media to steal from investors.” “If you’re getting investment advice from someone who is not registered as a broker or investment advisor, the risk of fraud is much higher,” he said. Thom first registered in 2006, with brief stints at Joseph Stevens & Company, National Securities Corporation and Next Financial Group. In 2011, FINRA suspended him for failing to pay an arbitration penalty.  According to the DOJ, Thom also told investigators he’d co-mingled an investor’s money with his own in a brokerage account. He allegedly lost the funds and didn’t tell the investor (spending some of it on a Manhattan apartment), eventually ignoring the investor altogether. When Thom was suspended,  » Read More

An Italian Facebook page where thousands of men posted intimate images of their female partners, sisters and unknown women – many of them without their consent, has been closed down following public outrage and multiple complaints to police. Since it was launched in 2019, hundreds of thousands of photos of women were posted on the Facebook group “Mia Moglie” (My Wife) for the purpose of eliciting comments and propositions by the nearly 32,000 mostly male group members. The posts ranged from swinger couples to photos women shared with their partners who then posted them on the site. Many photos were taken during sex acts, and most were published without the consent of the women pictured, according to Italy’s Postal Police, which is responsible for digital law enforcement. More than 2,000 complaints have been filed to Meta and local Italian authorities since Mia Moglie began, according to Italy’s Postal Police, who launched a criminal investigation that led Meta to shut the page down definitively August 20. “All the comments will be filed in our information system,” Barbara Strappato,  » Read More
