US consumer groups urge Congress to investigate online scams

Original: US consumer groups press Congress to probe scams on tech platforms

The groups want lawmakers to examine how fraudsters exploit social media and online marketplaces, and what responsibility the companies bear. The push adds to growing political pressure in Washington over platform accountability and consumer protection.
