The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has announced the launch of VSAFE.gov and 1-833-38V-SAFE (1-833-388-7233) — a new government-wide website and call center designed to protect Veterans, service members, and their families from fraud and scams.
These new resources will help inform Veterans and their families of common fraud schemes, give them tools to protect themselves, and provide an outlet for reporting and further assistance.
VA encourages Veterans, transitioning service members, and their families to remember they do not need to pay anything to apply for VA health care or benefits. Instead, at no cost, they can safely apply directly with VA through VA.gov or with a VA-accredited service representative.
All Veterans, service members, and their families are encouraged to visit VSAFE.gov to learn more and what to do if experiencing fraud.
