LANSING, MI— Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is warning veterans about a mail scam.
Some vets have received fraudulent postcards claiming they’re eligible for additional benefits. The recipient is told to call a phone number and the scammer gets their personal information.
Nessel says residents should be cautious when receiving such offers. She urges residents to verify the legitimacy of postcards regarding veteran resources before providing any personal information—such as a Social Security number, veteran ID number, or bank details.
People can reach out to their veteran service officer, their county veterans affairs office, or the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency’s Michigan Veterans Resource Service Center at 800-MICH-VET.
