VA officials sound alarm on uptick in veterans benefits scams

Never accept a call from someone you don't know.

One thing everybody should know is that no VSO charges for its benefits assistance services. If approached by someone offering to assist you for a fee, you can bet it's a scammer!

Some veterans are "easy pickings" for scammers. I no longer accept any calls from numbers I don't recognize; I use a screening service for all my calls now.
