Postcard Scam: Veteran Savings Program
Have you received a “Veterans Savings Program” postcard? It’s not from VA. It’s a scam! The latest scam circulating involves fraudulent postcards claiming you (or your spouse) are entitled to “extra VA benefits” or additional payments, including CHAMPVA, TRICARE, and dental coverage, regardless of a VA disability rating.
These scammers misrepresent themselves as being affiliated with VA. They might instill a sense of urgency, pressuring you to contact them within five days, or as soon as possible. Their goal is to get you to call the number provided. Once you do, they will often use flattery and praise of your military service to gain trust. The scammer will attempt to obtain personal identifying information like your Social Security number and other sensitive information.
VA urges you to remain vigilant against these fraudulent attempts to steal personal information. Refuse to engage with bad actors. Do not call unverified numbers. Hang up immediately if you are contacted by unsolicited numbers.
