Warning from the Retiree Activites Office

Caution! Another non-affliated site ~ An organization called Veterans Affairs Services (VAS) at http://www.vaservices.org/us/ is providing benefit and general information on VA and gathering personal information on veterans.

This organization is not affiliated with VA in any way. VAS may be gaining access to military personnel through their close resemblance to the VA name and seal.

The Department of Veterans Affairs Legal Counsel has requested that military installations be made aware of this group and their lack of affiliation or endorsement by VA to provide any services.

In addition, if you have knowledge of any example of VAS acts that violate Chapter 59 of Title 38 United States Code, such as VAS employees assisting veterans in the preparation and presentation of claims for benefits, please contact your local VA office. Be Aware of myPay Look-a-Like Web Sites ~ DFAS-Denver myPay officials have advised all DoD organizations and members to beware of copycat or look-a-like web sites being developed to make people think they are accessing official sites.

These web sites may use the words "myPay" as part of their web address. Members are advised to use caution against mistakenly providing personal information to copycat, look-a-like, or other web sites that use "myPay" in their web address. While they may be legitimate business concerns, they are not in any way affiliated with DFAS and myPay. The official myPay website is https://mypay.dfas.mil.
