Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller issued a statement on September 10, 2024, urging Texans to remain vigilant against online scams and fraudulent activities.

"I urge every Texan to stay vigilant against scams and fraudulent activities. Unfortunately, criminals continue to prey upon hardworking Texans, often posing as government agencies or officials to steal your money or personal information. These deceitful schemes can come through phone calls, emails, or fake websites and social media accounts. If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts and proceed with caution."
