## Resource

Veterans and military families are under serious attack by increasingly sophisticated scams—fraudsters are impersonating government agencies, claiming overpayments or urgent direct deposit issues, and even leveraging public records to seem legit. The VA warns: they’ll never ask for money or login details. Last year alone, military consumers lost $684 million. Experts urge extreme caution—verify everything directly with official sources, avoid wire transfers or gift cards, and never rush to send money. If it sounds too good to be true or pressures you for info, it’s likely a scam. Stay sharp and protect your hard-earned benefits.
