Veteran Scam Alert: Fraudulent “Veterans Savings Program” Postcards

Dear Veteran,

We want to make you aware of a new scam targeting Veterans and their families.

Scammers are mailing postcards claiming you may qualify for “extra VA benefits” through something they call the Veterans Savings Program. These mailings may also mention CHAMPVA, TRICARE, dental coverage, or additional payments.

These postcards are not from the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Veterans Savings Program does not exist. The scammers’ goal is to pressure you into calling a phone number printed on the postcard. They often try to create a sense of urgency, telling you to respond within a short window. Once on the phone, they may use flattery about your service to build trust, but their real intent is to collect personal information such as your Social Security Number, bank account details, or other sensitive data.

To protect yourself:
• Do not call the number listed on the postcard.
• Never share personal or financial information with someone you do not know.

Your safety, privacy, and well‑being matter. Please stay alert to potential scams and take steps to protect your personal information.
