JACKSON, Miss. (WTVA) — The Veterans Administration issued a warning about a potential phishing scam.
The agency says someone is contacting veterans, saying they are with the U. S. Government and offering a grant for $9,000.
The caller says they just need the veteran’s bank account information or credit card number.
The calls are from from a Washington, D.C. phone number.
The VA reminds veterans they do not call beneficiaries and ask credit card information or require bank account information in order to release a payment.
Personal and financial information should not be given to these callers.
