New York Attorney General Letitia James provided guidance to New Yorkers looking to support relief efforts in response to the devastating flash flooding in central Texas over the July 4th weekend. The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) warns New Yorkers to be wary of sham charities attempting to take advantage of their situation and encourages everyone to ensure they are giving to legitimate charitable organizations. 

“My heart breaks for the Camp Mystic families and all Texans impacted by this devastating flash flooding, and I am grateful to the first responders who have jumped into action to care for their neighbors. As New Yorkers seek to support relief efforts, I urge them to be careful of scams and make sure they give to trustworthy organizations and groups. I encourage anyone who experiences any issues when donating to reach out to my office.” – AG James
