Every year, tens of thousands of people are scammed out of their savings after responding to fraudulent online advertisements promoting fake investment schemes, cryptocurrency fraud and bogus financial products. Yet social media platforms are estimated to have made more than £430million from UK users alone last year through hosting such fake adverts. Victims are targeted by algorithms which track online activity. As a result, someone searching for pension advice or looking to invest may be shown relevant adverts – some of which may be fake.

The fast moving Lobstick Fire has prompted an evacuation order in the Rural Municipality of Shellbrook and on Saturday Shellbrook Fire and Rescue said in a Facebook post that people driving on the back roads were hampering rescue efforts, with water bombers having to abort drops due to people being where they shouldn’t be. “It’s human nature to be curious and want to see the fire, smoke, helicopters and water bombers up close,” the Facebook post read. “Emergency vehicles travel quickly and you are putting your own lives and theirs at risk by being out there.” The evacuation order includes individuals in the RM of Shellbrook who live in the hamlet of Holbein one mile west and five miles east of Shellbrook and are south of Hwy 3 to the rural RM of Shellbrook border.

Business Insider’s Post Jordan Gaston's mom had been complaining about cleaning out her email inbox. That's when he realized he could probably build something that would help. It was 2020, and Gaston and David Emelianov were roommates both working in tech. Gaston showed Emelianov a demo and explained what he was working on. Emelianov quickly started working on top of what Gaston built, and then they decided to work together on the project. When they started looking into selling the app last year, they were at $232,000 in monthly recurring revenue. At the end of last year, they sold the app for over $4 million, and did it all while keeping their full-time jobs — with the help of AI.

It’s amazing that the 1992 Duke-Kentucky Elite Eight game is still talked about, but it was a phenomenal contest. Obviously, what people remember is Christian Laettner’s astonishing winning shot. It’s become legend, and rightly so. The whole play was incredible, from Grant Hill’s long, looping pass to Laettner, to his presence of mind to fake left then turn to shoot, and of course, the shot hit nothing but net. People tend to forget that Kentucky’s Sean Woods hit an incredible shot just before Laettner topped him, and that Kentucky thought they had that game in the bag. In this video, Duke legend Grant Hill talks to former Kentucky coach Rick Pitino, who surprisingly says that “that’s not a bad memory,” and that he “treasures that game.” Don’t tell Kentucky fans. He points out that Jamal Mashburn fouled out, and Hill says that he was the reason the game was close, because “Mashburn was kicking my butt.” Hill is a humble guy, but he might have mentioned his brilliant pass. It was high enough that the Kentucky defenders couldn’t reach it, but in a perfect spot for Laettner to catch and deliver. Duke ran almost the same play against Wake Forest

A Key West Police employee was arrested and charged with crimes in the Florida Keys that could lead to 100 years in prison. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s investigation began when agents received a cybertip submitted by Snapchat. FDLE confirmed that at the time 21-year-old Jacob Rookey committed these crimes, he was employed by the Key West Police Department as a 911 telecommunicator, but his brief employment with the Key West PD was terminated. FDLE agents, along with the FDLE Special Operations Team and the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, served a search warrant at Rookey’s residence and seized numerous electronic devices for digital forensic analysis. The investigation into Rookey was launched when the Broward County Sheriff’s Office (BSO) received a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that Rookeywas possessing, viewing, and transmitting CSAM via Snapchat. BSO identified Rookey by his IP address and determined that jurisdiction belonged to FDLE Florida Keys. That led to the discovery of communications in which Rookey was buying/selling CSAM and animal sexual abuse materials as well as soliciting minors to send him CSAM. In many of the communications, Rookey was posing as an underage girl. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving gave an update on his recovery from ​a torn ACL ‌via Twitch, saying he is now close to full strength. “I am definitely close to being ‌over ​at 100% in ⁠terms on my ⁠ACL recovery,” Irving said. “It’s been a while now. … I’m just so grateful that ​I’ve had the time to heal and just ⁠experiment with my ⁠body more on ​the court.” The nine-time All-Star has ​been sidelined since his injury ‌March 3, 2025. During the 2024-25 campaign, he averaged 24.7 points, 4.8 rebounds ⁠and 4.6 assists over 50 games (all starts), while shooting 40.1% from ⁠3-point ‌range. Last season, the ⁠Mavericks struggled without the ​34-year-old ‌veteran, limping to a ​26-56 ⁠record. A return means Irving will be able to pair NBA Rookie of the Year Cooper Flagg next season. –Field ​Level Media
