‘Pokemon Go’ players stumble on hidden history
In this Monday, July 18, 2016, photo, a “Pokemon Go” player shows his mobile phone while walking through the Boston Common, outside the Massachusetts Statehouse in Boston. Historical markers dot the landscape of old cities, barely noticed by passers-by. The founder of the volunteer-based historical markers website that licensed its data to game-maker Niantic Labs five years ago said he hopes enough people take their eyes off the Pokemon they’re trying to catch to read the history on the markers. On the opposite side of the wall, left, is a bronze memorial to Robert Gould Shaw and the 54th Regiment Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, comprised of black Union soldiers who fought in the Civil War.

Hickory Daily Record
HICKORY – Some Pokemon Go players have received emails informing them they will need to pay $12.99 a month in order to play the game. However, the North Carolina Department of Justice said in a press release these emails are a scam.
These kinds of emails are called “phishing” scams, and past ones have been sent from scammers claiming to be anything from credit card companies to non-profits, the release said.. Frequently, the scammers will use an organization’s logo to make the emails seem legitimate.
