In another, scammers are told they can get a higher disability or pension payment for cash up front.Con artists also try to charge veterans for access to their military records or government forms\u00e2\u0080\u0094which veterans can get for free at their local VA office. Con artists pretending to be soon-to-be-deployed service members offer special deals to veterans on cars, electronics, or other products\u00e2\u0080\u0094asking the victims to wire them money through MoneyGram or Western Union for the purpose. The products never come.Scammers also sometimes impersonate military-affiliated charities.","video":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/chicago\/live\/"},"name":"CBS News

rel="nofollow noopener">Better Business Bureau</a> is warning veterans about scams targeting them.</p><p>The BBB says this year, the Department of Veterans Affairs is pointing out fraud tied to gaming activities.</p><p>Scammers often get financial information and personal details, or lure in veterans with videos that claim they can win lots of money.</p> <p>Other scams impacting veterans include one where they get a call in which they are told they qualify for money from "secret" government programs—but they have to pay a fee or provide personal information to find out more. In another, scammers are told they can get a higher disability or pension payment for cash up front.</p><p>Con artists also try to charge veterans for access to their military records or government forms—which veterans can get for free at their local VA office. Con artists pretending to be soon-to-be-deployed service members offer special deals to veterans on cars, electronics, or other products—asking the victims to wire them money through MoneyGram or Western Union for the purpose. The products never come.</p> <div id="mpu-plus-outstream-middle" data-ad="mpu-plus-outstream-middle" class="ad-mpu-plus-outstream-middle ad-wrapper " data-ad-unit='"mpu-plus-outstream-middle"'> </div> <p>Scammers also sometimes impersonate military-affiliated charities.</p> <!-- data-recirc-source="queryly" --> <aside class="component list recirculation component--type-recirculation "><div class="component__heading-wrapper"> <h3 class="component__title">More from CBS News</h3> </div> <div class="component__item-wrapper"> <div class="item" id="inline-recirc-item--id-0"> <a class="item__anchor" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/convenience-store-robberies-chicago-old-town-loop/?intcid=CNR-02-0623" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=""> <span class="img item__thumb item__thumb--crop-0"><img src="https://assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2024/11/25/60efe6e2-0933-457f-909b-9ab8d629c095/thumbnail/1200x630/5b6c5b0439855703518d026bd6be5201/snapshot-2024-11-25t055304-260.jpg?v=b1635869826311f914073798d8df6484#" alt=" " layout="fill" height="90" width="140"></span> <div class="item__title-wrapper"> <span class="item__hed"> Employee pepper sprayed in one of at least two Chicago convenience store robberies overnight</span> </div> </a> </div> <div class="item" id="inline-recirc-item--id-1"> <a class="item__anchor" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/cpd-armor-square-robberies/?intcid=CNR-02-0623" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=""> <span class="img item__thumb item__thumb--crop-0"><img src="https://assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2024/11/22/5f4aa89b-eadf-4693-9581-19c9fbbe8ccc/thumbnail/1200x630/491aaabccbc47c803271e1f53057fd7b/snapshot-2024-11-22t160329-239.jpg?v=b1635869826311f914073798d8df6484#" alt=" " layout="fill" height="90" width="140"></span> <div class="item__title-wrapper"> <span class="item__hed"> Armed robbers targeting senior citizens on South Side</span> </div> </a> </div> <div class="item" id="inline-recirc-item--id-2"> <a class="item__anchor" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/chicago-nonprofit-activity-camp-neurodiverse-children/?intcid=CNR-02-0623" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=""> <span class="img item__thumb item__thumb--crop-0"><img src="https://assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2024/11/24/1c8b6fe9-28b5-4bf2-bcbd-bb8097b83190/thumbnail/1200x630/2a92d8384c6c74868b5bfc6debf2be4c/neuro-heroes-camp.png?v=b1635869826311f914073798d8df6484#" alt=" " layout="fill" height="90" width="140"></span> <div class="item__title-wrapper"> <span class="item__hed"> Chicago nonprofit holds special activity camp for neurodiverse children</span> </div> </a> </div> <div class="item" id="inline-recirc-item--id-3"> <a class="item__anchor" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/crowds-return-chicago-loop-shooting-outside-macys/?intcid=CNR-02-0623" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=""> <span class="img item__thumb item__thumb--crop-0"><img src="https://assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2024/11/24/8b8911e5-6b66-400a-a80e-d0522175b95c/thumbnail/1200x630/385644906136125ea688ef224d30fe70/chicago-macys-shooting.png?v=b1635869826311f914073798d8df6484#" alt=" " layout="fill" height="90" width="140"></span> <div class="item__title-wrapper"> <span class="item__hed"> Juvenile faces charges in shooting that wounded woman outside Macy's</span> </div> </a> </div> <div class="item" id="inline-recirc-item--id-4"> <a class="item__anchor" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/man-arrested-in-third-lake-gaming-cafe-burglary/?intcid=CNR-02-0623" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=""> <span class="img item__thumb item__thumb--crop-0"><img src="https://assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2023/11/30/14f22f27-b1a4-488b-80ff-cbf0f142e51e/thumbnail/1200x630/c3b87be313d225fe77f6f1a7e521e151/gettyimages-1506271370.jpg?v=b1635869826311f914073798d8df6484#" alt=" " layout="fill" height="90" width="140"></span> <div class="item__title-wrapper"> <span class="item__hed"> Lake County Sheriff's deputies arrest man in gaming café burglary in Third Lake, Illinois</span> </div> </a> </div> </div> </aside><style type="text/css"> .component--type-recirculation .item:nth-child(5) { display: none;
