The Federal Trade Commission has extended the claim filing deadline for its $586 million settlement with Western Union. Consumers whove previously lost money to a scammer that took payment through Western Union now have until May 31st to file a claim and recoup those funds.
The settlement covers a wide range of potential victims; anyone who got scammed between January 1st, 2014 to
December 31st, 2019 is eligible to submit a claim. Youre not necessarily guaranteed to get all of your stolen cash back, however as the FTC says the amount you get will depend on how much you lost and the number of people who submit valid claims.
The process of going through those claims might take up to an entire year, so dont expect repayment anytime soon. A social security must also be provided, as the Justice Department will check to see that you dont owe the feds any money. If you do, itll come out of your refund amount.
If you got duped multiple times (come on, people), you can submit a claim for each incident. Even those who have since lost the paperwork related to the money transfer are encouraged to file for a refund.
The FTC and DOJ first announced this settlement with Western Union back in January 2017. Their stance was that the wire transfer service didnt do nearly enough to protect the gullible folks among us from the Nigerian princes of the world and other people running advance-fee scams. The agreement covers nearly any instance of getting bamboozled by someone so long as the money went through Western Union. The FTC says these are just a few possibilities:
