Service members, retirees and other beneficiaries who receive payments from the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS)-managed myPay system should be on the alert for potential fraud. Users should not divulge any personal information in response to email messages that look genuine but in fact are phony, according to DFAS. Genuine agency emails “are always sent in plain text, do not include attachments and do not ask you to send any information in response,” DFAS stated on its web site. “If you receive a SmartDocs message that contains a link, don’t click on it.”
