Hurricane Ike Scams...

As usual the scumbags, losers and thugs are once again out and about attempting to take advantage of the weak, hurt and needy.

Here are a few things you should know....

1. Texas New Mexico power does not charge by credit card to turn your power on any faster.

2. The city of Houston is not making random stops to residential properties accepting cash to "clean your yard."

3. Use discretion & logic when donating to any charities or billboard waving individual on our street corners!

Do you feel like you have been scammed? Are you paying more for gas, groceries, water, ice or any other type of provision that you feel is being increased just because of Hurricane Ike?

Price Gouging Is Illegal!
