Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton warned that scammers are targeting people by taking advantage of the flooding disaster in the central part of that state, which has left more than 100 people dead.

“There are no words for how wrong it is that morally bankrupt people are trying to take advantage of Texans by using this tragedy to scam them,” he said in a consumer alert issued on Monday evening.
