A New Right Wing Veterans Donation Scam

By MineralMan

I got a couple of robo calls yesterday, and tracked them back, thanks to their lame phone number spoofing. The organization that called me is the American Veterans Honor Fund. It's new, and based in Virginia. They're just getting started in scamming people out of their hard-earned money.

Here's what they're up to: The organization claims to be funding veterans who are candidates for public office. Their website offers little information, but has a two-post blog on it. One of those candidates, who may well be behind the scam, is a right-wing militia leader from Ohio. He was thrown out of the only office he has held, but he's back in the race again. To his credit, he admits that he has never served in any branch of the military of the United States, after naming all of his medals and honors from his militia group.

Here's their website:

They don't say their name when they call. My guy said, "Hi! I'm Mark with the veterans." I hung up and back called him and got the organizations name and then Googled it.

Don't be taken in. It's a scam.

As a veteran, I hate this shit!
