Veterans, be aware of fake charitable organizations! Scammers may pose as legitimate nonprofits, claiming to raise money for Veterans in need. Before donating, remember to always do your research:
• Verify the organization’s nonprofit standing
• Read reviews and ratings
• Be cautious of unsolicited requests
Protect yourself and other Veterans by learning about both charity scams and preventative measures to avoid experiencing fraud. For more information about charity scams, visit: https://news.va.gov/136650/protect-your-donations-from-charity-scams/
Veterans who suspect they have experienced fraud can find resources to file a report to the appropriate agency by visiting vsafe.gov or calling 833-38V-SAFE. If a Veteran is missing a VA benefits payment, identifies a discrepancy in payments, or finds suspicious activity with their direct deposit account, contact VA immediately at 800-827-1000
