VA issued a new warning of a so-called "phishing" scam that targets veterans who may be worried that their VA data was stolen.  It involves Internet fraudsters who send mass e-mails or pop-up messages asking unsuspecting recipients to provide personal information (credit card numbers, bank account information, Social Security number, passwords, or other sensitive
information) so the scammer can "check whether their data has been compromised." 

According to the VA, some of these e-mails originate from the address abuse@vba.va.gov, and ask the recipient to check an account by clicking on a link.  The VA says it has no such e-mail address, and the link in the email is to a web site in Asia.
