Alerta para consumidores
Se están enviando cheques de reembolso por un valor total aproximado de $153 millones de dólares a más de 109,000 personas que le mandaron dinero a estafadores a través de transferencias efectuadas en Western Union. Los $153 millones de dólares son una parte del dinero que pagó Western Union cuando alcanzó acuerdos resolutorios con la FTC y el Departamento de Justicia y aceptó crear un sólido programa antifraude. En su acuerdo con el Departamento de Justicia, Western Union también admitió la responsabilidad de infracciones penales.
Los primeros reembolsos se están enviando a las personas que firmaron y remitieron un formulario de reclamo pre-completado y que aceptaron el monto en dólares establecido en el formulario. El administrador de los reembolsos, Gilardi & Co., está verificando los reclamos que necesiten información adicional. Otras personas que presentaron reclamos obtendrán reembolsos más adelante durante este mismo año.
Los cheques de reembolso provendrán de “United States v. The Western Union Company”. Si estás en EE. UU., tienes que cobrar o depositar el cheque dentro de un plazo de 90 días. Si recibes un cheque, pero no estás de acuerdo con el monto, puedes cobrar el cheque y comunicarte con Gilardi & Co. Para más información sobre los reembolsos, comunícate con Gilardi & Co. al 844-319-2124 y visita WesternUnionRemission.com. En Western Union Refunds puedes consultar más información de la FTC sobre estos reembolsos.

The Gilardi & Co. website (www.WesternUnionRemission.com) says that the claims that were not paid in this round are still being reviewed by the US Department of Justice and Gilardi & Co. They expect to make more decisions in the next four months. Look at Frequently Asked Question #8.

I am one of the people who received s prefilled form back in December 2017. I agreed with amount that was on form. Wrote out social security number on form, and signed sent in online. They received my submission same day. I should be a part of first round of payments and should have receving my check this past Saturday or today. But was told 109,000 checks were not issued on March. Payments were broken up into groups. Next few weeks more should be issued and so forth. People who were missing info others who did not have the prefilled info will be later in the year July and so on. I pray my check will be mailed off in 2 weeks or sooner like was stated I need my money.

I got a check on Monday 3/16/20. I pray this check is not a scam as well. I want to cash it but sure don't want no one to come back and clean out my account.

Well they should have mentioned that those that did send in paperwork and have additional deficiencies.... why did they not send out notices? I just found this out yesterday. Another thing to prolong the others to get payment

I was just told 2 pieces of correspondence that were sent too me were returned to them because they sent the mail to my old address! How and why I don't know. The pre-filled form came to my new address informing me about this lawsuit. I have not lived at that address since 2007! Somebody dropped the ball and now my check has not been issued! Everyone (for those that have moved) check with gilardi and co, and make sure your address is updated. If you have not received your check by now that is one of the reasons why. Besides others who kay have been offset for certain tax debts etc.

I will say this.. in 2011 I got scammed hard.. I went and filled a police report and federal charges. That's how I got involved. Then a couple of years ago I received the letter from the what I thought was the lawyer or prosecutor against them. I never figured anything would happen bc I was the stupid one.. but I did learn a valuable lesson. Then I got a check in the mail. I credit it all the filling out the police report. So if you went about things that way, I would think youd get back your losses.

I received my check the other day and I actually forgot all about the claim. I sent my form in with receipts and the complaints I sent to Western union. Western Union ignored me and wouldn't recover my funds. So I am glad someone listened and Justice was served.

I was married at the time but now divorced. I recieved my check but was wondering if my spouse recieved the same amount in her name since we are no longer together. I would be obligated to send her half if it was just a one part check.

If the people at your bank have a question about your refund check, they can call Gilardi & Co. at 844-319-2124.
March 20, 2020
I tried calling (844) 319-2124 and only got a recording. I have tried 3 times and never reach an actual person. My bank said to deposit the check and they will hold the funds for 7 days while they verify the sender. I made a claim many years ago so, if this is real, it is a blessing.
March 20, 2020
Okay. Receiving a check from this case is great. However, in checking the bank name that is on the check, there is NO bank in the city where it is supposed to be by that name. The check does not look like the usual business refund check one would receive. From this site, it would appear this is not part of the scam by Western Union or someone else who is a lot smarter than I to think things up. However, since the bank this check is supposed to be drawn on does not exist, I am suspect. Will be taking this to my bank on the next business day I am able to. The banks are shut down and you can't see anyone.

I received my check yesterday and deposited it into my savings account today. It was a long time coming, but it did come, and when I least expected it to. Thankful I got back all I lost. Thank you, FTC for holding Western Union accountable.

I want to take the time to thank you for all the hard work that you’ve done in this case. I was scammed out of a huge amount of money and it makes me feel good that I have somebody fighting on my side and others so things like this never happen again.
March 21, 2020
Thank you FTC for a job well done. We got our check for the amount specified in the pre-filled form we received almost 2 years ago. The money will help us a lot especially in these times.
