This possible alert goes to Veteran Members and other members here too.
This morning I received a phone call from a TriAlliance Community Service
(I think that was correct name) saying the VA referred me to them.
I don’t think the VA refers their patients to civilian services.
Here’s how the call went,
“Is this (my first Name)? I said “Yes.”
“This is TriAlliance Community Services, you have been referred to us
from the VA, we like to schedule an appointment with you.”
(I was sharp enough to ask first) I asked, “What is this for?”
She said, “I can follow up on that after I ask for security purposes I
need your Social Security number and date of birth.”
I said, “No, I need to know what this is for before I do that.”
She said, “Again, I need to know we are speaking with (my first name.)
before I can speak of your referral from the VA.”
I said, “No, it doesn’t work that way. No thank you.” I hung up.
Here’s the notable note… this Forum is the only place I have
written about my VA Services replying to a Thread concerning VA
Benefits.
Any member who not service connected who has signed their replies
with their first name and what Neurological Center they go to could be
subject to the same phone call. All members who have… be alert.
I am following up on this call and number. I have a friend who is a
computer guru.
Just to let all know...
