Beware of this scam if a veteran in your family has recently passed:

I just got this alert from Bourne National Cemetery

An active, predatory scam is targeting grieving veteran families across the Southeast. Individuals are posing as members of the Armed Forces, an honor guard, or government employees. These callers are contacting families of deceased veterans - particularly families arranging military funeral honors - and falsely claiming that payment is required for a refundable “insurance policy.” They allege this policy is necessary to cover any liability the honor guard might incur while participating in the service. The callers are reportedly demanding credit-card payment and threatening that the military honors detail will be canceled if payment is not made.

As you all know, military funeral honors are an earned benefit provided at zero cost; no payment is ever required. We are putting together a communications plan to get the word out on Military OneSource, social media, newsletters, etc. As these digital assets and resources go live, we will provide you with direct links that you can easily share through your own communication networks, newsletters, and social media pages.

In the meantime, please know:

Surviving families should never receive phone calls demanding payment for military honors.
If you encounter this scam, hang up, notify me of any concerns, and file a fraud report with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/.
