very similar to the correct phone number,
1-866-606-8198, which allows veterans to
check their eligibility and ask questions
about the program. The fake phone line
offers callers a $100 rebate if the caller
provides a credit card number. It does not
state that the caller has reached the U.S.
Department of Veterans Affairs or If you are unsure you have reached the correct phone line, hang up and dial 1-866-606-8198. The phone line will state that you have reached the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. For more information, view the Veterans Choice Program fact sheet. |
