Every year, military servicemembers, veterans, and their families report significant financial losses due to fraud and scams. In 2023 alone, these losses amounted to over $470 million. To address this issue, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Better Business Bureau Institute are hosting a webinar focused on how scammers target military consumers.

The event will take place on January 27, 2025, at 1:00 pm ET. It aims to educate participants on protecting personal and financial information as well as military benefits. The session will also cover ways to share this knowledge with others in the community.
