Servicemembers: Reporting for duty

National Consumer Protection Week is a time to shed light on how scammers will try to rip off anyone, including the military. The FTC’s military dashboard compiles five years’ worth of reports from servicemembers, veterans, and military families. From January 2017 through September 2021, military consumers told the FTC about more than 961,000 reports related to fraud, identity theft, or other consumer issues.

Why target the military? Scammers follow the money — and as a servicemember, you get a steady paycheck from Uncle Sam. After you leave the service, scammers try to trick you out of hard-earned benefits. Some scammers even try to gain your trust and get your guard down by claiming a military affiliation.

For both servicemembers and veterans, the top two categories of fraud reported in the past five years involved imposter scams. While all kinds of impersonators might target the armed forces, recent reports show that impersonators pretended to be from a government agency or a legitimate business.

But no matter what the story is, if someone contacts you out of the blue, remember:

Scammers are always changing their tactics, so it’s important to hear from you. What are you seeing? Tell the FTC your story at ReportFraud.ftc.gov, or in Spanish at ReporteFraude.ftc.gov.

And come see what’s going on during #NCPW2022 at ftc.gov/ncpw. Please join us and spread the word through your community.

SharePoint is a document management system designed to make content easier to find, organize, search, and manage. It allows organizations to share information and resources with other team members and provides secure collaboration across devices.

It is also designed to support legal and data management needs and offers search capabilities. Additionally, SharePoint integrates with Microsoft Office, allowing teams to work together on real-time documents and securely share files.

SharePoint is an excellent file storage platform for companies and organizations of all sizes. It allows users to share and organize information efficiently and is accessible on any device. You will need a web browser to access SharePoint. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Firefox are all excellent choices if they have the latest version.

SharePoint offers several other features to help improve your productivity. OneDrive for Business is a cloud storage solution that allows you to store up to 5 TB of files. Your team can access and share these files anywhere. You can work on the same document simultaneously and even chat within the document itself. You can also quickly revert to previous versions if you need to make changes. Once you’ve made the final decision, you can download it and edit it. It is also an excellent solution for companies with multiple locations but doesn’t want to lose all of SharePoint’s flexibility. It is the perfect solution for businesses that require secure information sharing.
