Western Union Refunds
For years, many people who lost money to scams sent their payment through a Western Union wire transfer. Scammers contacted people and promised prizes, loans, jobs, discounted products or other financial rewards in exchange for money upfront. They also pretended to be family members in need of cash, or law enforcement officers demanding payment.
The scammers told people to send money through Western Union. No one received the cash, prizes or services they were promised.
If you were a victim who sent money to a scammer through Western Union between January 1, 2004, and January 19, 2017, you are eligible to submit a claim and get a refund.
