GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) - It's a popular site that's now being monitored due to some activity that threatens to cost users. Police issued a warning Friday about a scammer targeting people shopping on Facebook Marketplace.

Community banks are thriving. Bankers worry it won't last. - Marketplace
Those connections helped boost their net income by 10% in the most recent quarter, compared to a year ago, according to a recent report from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
Alden said low interest rates also mean banks can pay less to savers. Bay State Savings Bank has reduced rates on its savings accounts, market accounts and certificates of deposit.
"Because rates have come down with the [Federal Reserve], we've been able to move our deposit costs down on a product-by-product basis to improve our margin," Alden said.
What can Facebook learn from the Microsoft antitrust case? - Marketplace
The Federal Trade Commission and almost every state are calling for Facebook to be broken up in what is probably the most groundbreaking tech antitrust lawsuit since Microsoft was sued in the 1990s. So I thought I'd take a look back at that Microsoft case to see if it offers any lessons for today’s tech giants.
Molly Wood: Right. And Bill Gates has since then said that Microsoft, the company, lost a decade of innovation fighting on those two fronts. Do you think that’s true?

Dry ice makers pressed to meet demand for vaccine delivery - Marketplace
Where does that dry ice comes from? Is there enough of it to go around? And how much is it going to cost?
That’s because demand for dry ice is about to spike, and a whole bunch of industries are worried.
“Without dry ice, we would not be able to get dairy cultures out there, and as a result, would not be able to process milk,” said Rebekah Sweeney of the Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association.
She said manufacturers use 350,000 pounds of dry ice a week to make cheese cultures. So whatever it costs, they're going to need to buy it.
Automatic spot rate tools give shippers an edge in digital marketplaces - FreightWaves
Digital freight marketplace Loadshop is working to actively put more control back into the hands of shippers and carriers during spot market transactions. In keeping with this effort, the company has launched a tool known as RateSeeker.
Developed based on customer feedback, RateSeeker is designed to help shippers get the most out of every transaction and continue to reduce the average cost of spot freight.
On the Loadshop platform, shippers set their own pricing and ensure they've found the best price to move their freight. To make the best possible match at the best price for everyone involved, shippers post their freight and take market feedback from carriers. Sometimes the load moves very quickly at their initial posting, while other times it doesn't. When this happens, shippers readjust the rate to find a match between their freight and a carrier's need – from a rate and lane perspective.
