scam

From t-shirts, to stimulus checks; here's a look at the many scams that targeted Amarillo in 2021.

Don't get taken to the cleaners this holiday season.

So it has been a while since our last bunch of scammers were trying to get us. Unfortunately as we are getting close to the holiday's this is not the case. For some reason the holiday's, which should bring out the best in people, sometimes don't.

There are some legitimate people trying to see you their stuff here in Amarillo off the local Facebook pages. There are a lot of good people. The problem is like everything else there are bad people too. The ones trying to make a quick buck off of you.

You may be getting these texts too. I have received several over the past couple of weeks. It looks like AT&T is trying to get ahold of me. They want to give me something free. I am very skeptical about everything I receive via text messaging or emails.

You can't make this up.

As is the case majority of the time, if it sounds too good to be true...it is.

Don't let a dollar sign fool you into making a bad decision.

Keep in mind, just as with the Canyon Aqua Park scam, if it seems too good to be true; it probably is. Don't be quick to give up your personal info.

As the old saying goes; if it's too good to be true, it probably is.

Hopefully soon this issue is resolved and they get to the source and cut it off.

It seems like our spring has been full of rain and hail recently. It's like feast or famine here in the Texas Panhandle. We were first in a rain deficit and now it looks like the burn bans have been listed.
