Veterans Advantage Reviews Financial Protections against Scams

Lin Higgins WeSalute (Veterans Advantage)

As our country begins to consider the process of slowly reopening after the COVID-19 crisis, we at Veterans Advantage know how important it is to continue to protect yourself and your family, to stay healthy, both physically and mentally. 

We stand with you and your loved ones and are proud to continue serving you with exclusive benefits during this uncertain time and moving forward. As our economy struggles to return to normal in the coming months, we’re committed to bringing you our exclusive savings on your essential needs. That’s why we’re continuing to offer our COVID-19 50% OFF Sale on VetRewards subscriptions during this time

We’re trying to do our part as we understand how challenging it is to stay financially healthy too, as our nation struggles with the economic shocks brought on by the coronavirus. Our stock market has experienced a historic drop, our 401Ks have been decimated, and our very livelihoods have been put into question with COVID-19 furloughs. 

This week, it looks like some financial relief is in sight with the second wave of government payments for households arriving after a glitch in the IRS tax system caused a delay. That glitch has now been fixed, but the delay has created the perfect opportunity for scammers who are now working hard to cash in on our financial vulnerabilities during COVID-19. 

We know it’s not the most exciting activity to do while you’re quarantined, but it’s important to educate yourself about how to avoid falling victim to these scams. We don’t want you to add this issue to your list of COVID-19 woes. 

Learn about the COVID-19 scams and how to avoid becoming a victim. The FTC has set up this very comprehensive consumer site with tips on protecting yourself from these terrible scams. 

It’s also a good time to commit to taking a closer look at your finances and get your taxes done now. With VetRewards, it’s easy to do this and put protections in place that will help you keep a closer watch on your personal financial health at this time.

Cover Story: “Black Hawk Down” Comes Back into Perspective Over 30 Years Later

In the storied annals of military history, there are tales that transcend time, serving as reminders of the indomitable spirit and unwavering courage of those who wear the uniform. One such narrative unfolded in the streets of Mogadishu, Somalia, where Retired U.S. Army Maj. Larry Moores etched his name into the annals of valor, culminating in a long-overdue recognition with the Silver Star Medal.

Cover Story: How & Why WeSalute Was Founded 25 Years Ago

WeSalute founders Scott and Lin Higgins have spent a lifetime in the military community, from Scott’s combat service in Vietnam and the service of Lin’s father in WWII, to serving families and veterans through the creation of memorials and parades as part of charitable and government initiatives. It was this lifetime of service that led them to establish WeSalute, originally founded as Veterans Advantage, and to continue giving back.
