The Federal Trade Commission just issued a news alert reminding consumers they have until May 31st to claim refunds in connection with the settlement between the Dept. of Justice and Western Union. Anyone who lost money through a Western Union wire transfer scam between  January 1, 2004 and January 19, 2017  is eligible. If you don’t know whether you qualify, you can read about the scam here.

You can file your claim on the the FTC’s website at    FTC.gov/WU . You can input required information and upload supporting documents at that link. There’s no fee for filing a claim and you shouldn’t need the help of an attorney to do so. The FTC will review and try to validate all of the claims it receives, but can’t guarantee whether a particular claim will be validated or how long the review process will take. But as stated above, claims have to be filed no later than May 31st to be eligible.
