VA Announces New Website and Call Center to Protect Veterans From Fraud.

A multiagency federal effort aims for a ‘one-stop shop’ to help military families targeted by scams.

By Christina Ianzito, AARP. Published August 13, 2024.

Scams are rampant these days, and members of the veteran community are favorite targets of scammers; veterans, military personnel and their spouses reported $477 million in losses from scams last year — up $63 million in 2022 — according to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

In response, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the White House have announced the launch of VSAFE.gov and 833-38V-SAFE (833-388-7233). The new website and call center is meant to coordinate efforts across the federal government to protect veterans, service members and their families from fraud and scams.
