MilitaryRecord.us.org
takes the rights of veterans seriously. Our staff started
MilitaryRecords.us.org because we care about our nation's heroes. We
want them to get all of the honors and rewards they deserve. That's
why we are constantly working to protect them.
It's
also why we want to take time today to warn them about ripoff schemes
that are used to target veterans, so that they can prepare and
protect themselves.
Ripoff
artists know that veterans are often desperate to take advantage of
the federal benefits owed to them. They also know that the adjustment
to being back in the homeland can be difficult, which is what makes
them think that veterans may be easy targets for a ripoff scheme.
The
most common type of ripoff that targets veterans is a letter that
appears to be written on government stationery, promising to expedite
benefits if they send in a fee. This is always a ripoff, because the
government does not require a fee for you to get your benefits.
Another
ripoff is when someone calls up a veteran and says they need to
verify information, including Social Security number and date of
birth to verify their benefits. In this case, it is an identify theft
ripoff designed to get credit in the veteran's name.
Finally,
some ripoff artists claim they can offer jobs for veterans in
exchange for a fee. This is always a ripoff. Real jobs do not require
payment upfront!
The
bottom line is that you should only get benefits from the VA office.
Anyone else who pretends to want to help you is probably a ripoff
artist.
