Fraud alert: Beware the “Veterans Savings Program” postcard scam
A scam is targeting veterans in the United States, involving fraudulent postcards that claim recipients are entitled to extra benefits. These postcards may mention specific programs such as CHAMPVA, TRICARE, and dental coverage. The scammers claim to be affiliated with the VA and may try to create a sense of urgency to get victims to contact them.
Once in touch, they use flattery to gain trust and attempt to obtain personal identifying information. Veterans are advised to be cautious and not give out sensitive information over the phone or internet. The VA is monitoring the situation and urges vigilance against these fraudulent attempts.
Further details about the scam are available from the VA.
