Protect Yourself from Fraud

Shield

Only use Western Union for sending money to friends and family. Never send money to someone you have not met in person. Scammers sometimes encourage people to transfer money.

Do not transfer money to anyone who asks you to send them money:

  • For an emergency you have not personally confirmed
  • For anti-virus protection
  • For a deposit or payment on a rental property
  • To claim lottery or prize winnings
  • To pay taxes
  • For a donation to charity
  • For a mystery shopping assignment
  • For a job opportunity
  • For a credit card or loan fee
  • To resolve an immigration matter
  • To pay for something in response to a telemarketing call. Telemarketers cannot sell you anything and take payment for money transfer from anyone in the U.S. It’s illegal.

If you transfer money, the person you are sending it to gets the money quickly. After the money is paid, Western Union may not be able to give you a refund, even if you are the victim of fraud, except under limited circumstances.

If you believe you may be a victim of fraud call the Western Union Fraud Hotline at 1-800-448-1492 (toll-free). Or visit westernunion.com/us/en/fraudawareness/fraud-report-fraud.html.
