Scammers Target Veterans with Fake Savings Program

0:00It's March 28, from your city to your ears. This is Durham News today, powered by AI. Scammers are targeting veterans with a phony savings program that straight up doesn't exist. They dangle the idea of free money to lure folks in, but it's all designed to steal your cash and info. These crooks ramp up the pressure, telling you to call back within 5 days or miss out. Once you're on the line, they start fishing for your personal details and financial data. Officials are fired up about this, stressing that veterans earned our respect to service, not scams praying on their trust. The impact hits hard, leaving good people vulnerable after giving so much. No legit government agency will hit you up by phone, text or email, demanding personal info, or payments through gift cards, wire transfers, crypto, or apps like that. Don't check any benefits claim. Write on veterans affairs websites or official government pages to keep the scammers at bay
