It is that most wonderful time of the year. Don't think because we are all in the holiday cheer that the bad guys are taking any time off. I think they feel this is the best time to try to scam us. So don't fall for anything.
There have been a lot of scams going around. Why people take the time to create such issues. Especially because I feel most of them shouldn't be fallen for. Maybe it is because some of the time people actually fall victim.
This week we reported that Xcel Energy was asking for a 14% increase on our electric bills, unfortunately that wasn't the scam. There is a new phone scam making the rounds involving your energy bill.
It's that time of year when people are starting to do their taxes. It's something we have to do every single year, we have to get those returns done and in to the IRS. However, it seems criminals come out of the wood works trying to get your hard earned money. The Amarillo Police Department is warning of scammers.
