A new critter is fast becoming a common sight in central Kansas. It has a tiny head with a long pointy little snout and perky little ears, much like an anteater. It’s armor-plated from head to toe, sort of like a mini rhinoceros. It has claws so long they seem out of proportion to the rest of its body. Its tail is as long as its body, and is jointed and armor plated clear to the tip. Yup, you guessed it, it’s an armadillo.

The Internal Revenue Service is sending letters to more than 9 million individuals and families who did not file a 2021 federal income tax return but may qualify for tax benefits and a possible refund.

Your Better Business Bureau (BBB) has identified yet another new scam, aimed at those who may already be in financial straits. Scammers are not content to simply steal identities or access and drain bank accounts. Recently reports have increased of thieves who are out to take over your very home via a new kind of deed scam. Homeowners are tricked into signing away their property to the scammer who has posed as someone attempting to “assist” them through their financial difficulty.
