Greetings,
I wanted to let you know about a recent phone scam targeting Ohio veterans in an attempt to obtain
their credit card account information.
Veterans throughout the nation have been receiving calls in which the caller claims that the U.S.
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has recently changed procedures for dispensing prescriptions
and asks for the veteran's credit card number. The VA stresses that its procedures have not changed.
To learn more about the scam and to get tips on how to avoid phone scams in general, visit:

Always remember to be wary of any call soliciting personal information such as credit card or social
security numbers.
Please spread the word to any friends and family who may be a target of this scam by forwarding this
message along now.
Sincerely,
Richard Cordray
Ohio Attorney General
