The North Dakota Department of Veterans Affairs is warning Veterans about fraudulent postcards promoting a so-called "Veterans Saving Program." These mailers are not from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and the program does not exist. If you receive one of these postcards, do not provide personal or financial information. Always verify benefit information directly with the VA or an accredited Veterans Service Officer and report any suspicious mail. Staying informed is the best way to protect yourself from scams.
