When it comes to fraud, prevention is Western Union’s most effective tactic.

Dear Customer,

People fall for scams every day. As a trusted financial partner for millions of customers, Western Union works hard to help prevent fraud.

At Western Union, we believe that fraud prevention is everyone’s responsibility and together we can fight it. Your best defense is to be aware, educate yourself and always use good judgment.

Although fraud comes in many forms, there are some simple steps you can take to protect yourself. Therefore, you should never send money:

•

For an emergency situation you haven’t confirmed.

•

For an online purchase.

•

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 by money transfer from anyone in the US – it’s illegal.

If you transfer money, the person you’re 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.

We hope that together we can make it much harder for criminals to commit fraud.
