but the department of justice says groups of scammers are trying to trick these good people. mary moloney has the story. in the midst of the devastation of harvey -- the compassion of strangers shines through. people donating food -- water -- and shelter to survivors. others -- caught on camera -- saving lives. no matter where you live -- you can help the people impacted by hurricane harvey. but beware of phony charities. scam artists attempt to capitalize on americans' generosity after a major crisis. by using things like bogus websites -- emails -- social media accounts and fake crowdfunding campaigns. steer clear of suspicious websites. beware of unsolicited emails and phone calls. never open emails purporting to show photos of disaster areas because they may be viruses hackers can use to steal your information. and do your homework on the organization -- to ensure money you give goes to the right place.

for consumer watch -- i'm mary moloney. (james) i'm tracking your forecast. welcome back to the kron

4 morning news... the n-f-l rallies for hurricane relief... and so does kron.

these relief efforts. gary says the football players are really shining like j.j. watts and there's a lot of good people out there.( darya ) j-j watts has increased his goal to ten million dollars. no one has done more than him. he has already raised seven million for salvation army. gary says he wouldn't be surprised if he reaches ten million.( darya ) the dallas cowboys won't be playing thursday night now that their preseason finale with the houston texans has been canceled. instead the cowboys announced that they will practice at at&t stadium on thursday, an event that will double as a live telethon to raise funds for hurricane harvey relief efforts. kind of similar to this joe horn shot, but with no helmet no flip phone. gary says now is actually a good time. the exhibition game was nothing. it is putting

a group text message? do you have a call? do you take a shuttle to the airport? gary says he believes they are more sensitive than we want to give them credit for. if you are somebody's assistant, you are usually the one that does all the dirty work.( darya ) i saw that in the last episode of "ballers." they sent the assistant to fire the head coach. it was a tense moment. i watch "ballers" religiously. i don't want to give anything away because i'm constantly blowing the big lead of a story like a spoiler. like with "game of thrones", i won't tell you

what happened there. gary says it's a sunday thing at his house. he doesn't like "game of thrones," but he likes "power and he likes "ballers." with ballers, we all know the raiders end up in las vegas.( darya ) a chinese interviewer made warriors player draymond green play "would you rather." he was asked who he would save first steve kerr or steph curry? ( darya ) everyone knows you got to save steph. gary says no one can play like curry can. i don't like to play a game when i'm losing, but it seems like it's starting to play.(
