Heads up, Veterans and families: a new mail scam is targeting Veterans with official-looking postcards promoting a fake "Veterans Savings Program."

The postcards claim Veterans and spouses may qualify for up to $185 a month in additional VA benefits — including CHAMPVA, TRICARE, and dental coverage — regardless of disability rating. Scammers imply a VA connection and pressure recipients into calling within five days and sharing personal information like Social Security numbers and birth dates.

VA has received reports of this scam in multiple states, including Iowa, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina.

Protect yourself: never share personal or financial info with unverified contacts, don't act on urgent unsolicited requests, and don't call the number or click any links on a suspicious postcard, email, text, or call. When in doubt, contact VA directly at 1-800-MyVA411 (698-2411). Additional resources in the comments.

A new mail scam is targeting Veterans with official looking postcards that promote a fake “Veterans Savings Program.” The postcards advertise that Veterans and their spouses may qualify for up to $185 a month in additional Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits – including CHAMPVA, TRICARE, and dental coverage – regardless of their VA disability rating.

Scammers are implying association with the VA and pressuring recipients to call the listed number within five days of receipt. They are using flattery and praise to trick Veterans and beneficiaries into disclosing personal identifying information, including Social Security numbers and dates of birth.

VA has received reports of incidents of this scam from Veterans in multiple states, including Iowa, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina.

VA is urging Veterans to protect themselves by applying the following guidelines:
• Never share personal or financial information with unverified contacts.
• Don’t act on urgent requests from people you don't know. Legitimate VA communications will not pressure you to provide an immediate response or call you, unsolicited, for sensitive information.
• If you receive a suspicious postcard, email, text, or call, ignore them, and do NOT call the number provided or click on any links.
• Always verify the sender's identity, and when in doubt, contact VA directly at 1-800-MyVA411 (698-2411).
