Mass. consumers lose about $2.4 billion to scams each year
Residents of Massachusetts lose an estimated $2.4 billion a year to online scams, according to a new report that shows Americans as a whole are being tricked out of $119 billion a year — far more than official estimates suggest.
The biggest culprits are Meta’s Facebook and Instagram, according to the new “scam economy” report from the Consumer Federation of America.
Five popular eateries are opening at this Mass. landmark
A handful of new businesses are expected to open this year and next in Boston's newly renovated Commonwealth Pier. Patch covered it on TikTok.
Salt & Straw, a beloved ice cream shop known for its unique flavors; the popular health-food eatery LifeAlive Organic Café; the neighborhood kitchen Daily Provisions; and the famous Italian eatery Ci Siamo are just some of the businesses opening there in 2026.
Earls Kitchen + Bar is also expected to open at Commonwealth Pier in 2027.
