As communities in Texas recover from recent flooding, the Texas Attorney General's office has issued a warning to residents in Aubrey regarding potential charity scams. The office advises donors to exercise caution as scammers often take advantage of disasters by masquerading as charitable organizations or using names similar to legitimate groups.
To ensure safe donations, the Attorney General's office recommends several steps. Donors should research any unfamiliar charities using resources like CharityWatch and GuideStar. It is also important to verify that an organization is properly registered and to be wary of names that closely resemble well-known charities.
