The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (USDVA) reports that the caller begins the conversation by asking veterans military deployment related questions.

A second caller then comes on the line and asks for the veteran’s social security number.

There are 367,000 veterans living in Kentucky.

Those who have received such a call and provided their social security numbers are at risk of becoming victims of identity theft.
