Congrats but like other members mentioned you have to be very careful and it can come from anywhere. They can actually listen to your walk about phone and get the numbers that way.

If it happens again ask for a fax number or their telephone number and call back if it is legitimate. Otherwise use the VSO. I had to also provide copies of birth certificates and marriage licenses.

I am 100% for panic disorder and if you are agoraphobic you should get SMC but I suspect you will have to ask for it when you start getting your money.

Good Luck

If that was me Baca, I would deffantly call them first thing in the morning to verify that call! The newspapers write every day about somebody being scammed. You just think it'll never be you their writing about! I get emails often about some rich old fart dying, usually in Canada, and they want me to get in contact so I could get my share of the heritage. Hell, I never knew I had so many rich relatives, much less in Canada! All it takes is a phone call Baca. Not to mention peace of mind!

My VSO is a old lady. I hired a lawyer in March. I don't remember giving my VSO rep. my marriage licenses or birth certificates. I think she said we could do that later. I do have agoraphobia but I can leave the house. I just avoid places where I can't escape like church.

I had a clinic call ME and say they were calling to confirm a medical appointment and would I please give them the last 4 of my SSN to confirm I was the patient.

No, but I'll happily call the clinic using the number I have in my cell contacts and once I know with whom I'm speaking, then we'll talk about personally identifable information

They did ask me for the last 4 numbers of my SSN. They knew my wife & sons name, address, phone # and everything else about my claim. If it was a scam it would have to be a inside job. I'm pretty sure the guy told me his name too.

You are OK this time. Caller ID is a good thing to have. Didnt you fill out a 21-526 when you applied. I think it has a place for this information.

At least you are 100 percent P and T according to the chapter 35 benefits but champ VA is the best benefit you will receive unless you get Tricare.

My VSO rep filled out the papers and shes a old lady. She is going to retire this summer. Shes a sweet old lady but I not sure she should be representing veterans. Some of the things she told me were incorrect. I was hopeing I could get champ VA for my wife and son. I'm on medicare and have never applied for VA medical. This is all new to me. This site has been very helpful.
