Recent Breach of Veterans’ Data Generates More Fraud

Another follow-up to postings and resources for veterans impacted by recent data breach: “The FTC is advising veterans and their families to keep a close hold on their credit card numbers, bank account information, Social Security numbers, passwords, and other sensitive personal information. One technique scammers use to get this information is phishing: they send an e-mail that appears to be from a well-known company, asking recipients to verify their personal information and luring them to a Web site that looks genuine, but is bogus. Scammers can lie on the telephone, as well, to get personal information.” [Link]
