Dry, windy conditions continue across parts of New York state, and that doesn’t bode well for the wildfires still actively burning downstate.
Attorney General Letitia James is warning New Yorkers to be cautious when giving to charities helping with wildfire recovery.
Scammers are quick to hop on devastating events taking advantage of peoples’ concern, and encourages everyone to take steps to ensure they are giving to legitimate charitable organizations.
If you’re solicited by email, find out who is soliciting.
Be careful when giving through social media or other fundraising sites.
Ask how your donation will be used. Never, ever give cash.
