Brief heads up: We have recently learned of several efforts by fraudulent people or organizations that are contacting Veterans with the promise of employment. They ask for personal information such as SSN, date of birth, bank information, etc. In some cases sending fraudulent checks to the Veteran, asking them to deposit them and return by money order a lesser amount. So, just a reminder to everyone ... if it sounds too good to be true - it probably is. If in doubt, verify.
