Mississippians warned about hurricane relief scams
SUMMARY: Following hurricanes Milton and Halen, state and federal agencies warn about potential disaster relief scams targeting victims. Experts advise Mississippians to be cautious as scammers exploit disasters for personal gain. Common scams include phishing emails, fraudulent ads, and fake charity links, often enhanced by AI-generated imagery intended to evoke emotional responses. Duplicated GoFundMe pages can also mislead donors. To protect yourself, remain skeptical of suspicious links, use multi-factor authentication for banking, freeze credit reports, and update security software. Donate only to well-known charities like the American Red Cross or Salvation Army and report scams to the Better Business Bureau.

Outdoor Adventures with Chelsea: Getting ready for gun season
SUMMARY: In this week’s Outdoor Adventures, Chelsea discusses preparing firearms for the upcoming gun season. She emphasizes the importance of cleaning her deer rifle, which had been unused since last season. To clean it, she used cleaning rods and a fabric patch soaked in Rim oil, removing dirt and grime from the barrel. After cleaning the bolt, she confirmed the rifle was sighted in by shooting a few rounds for accuracy. Chelsea’s husband, Wesley, also cleaned his shotgun in preparation for duck season, which requires more disassembly. Both firearms are now ready for use in their respective hunting seasons.
WTVA’s Chelsea Simmons talks about gun cleaning in this week’s Outdoor Adventures.
