Dear Beneficiary,

This is to acquaint you on the outcome of our meeting with Western Union Co (WU.N) and the Association of Better Business Bureau to compensate scam victims upon due verification. The National Central Bureau of Interpol enhanced by the United Nations and Federal Bureau of Investigation have seriously taken the instructions of the new president of the United States of America, Donald Trump to boost the security exercise of clearing all foreign debts owed to individuals and organizations as a result the past Government failure to settle each victim with the mandated compensation amount of US$4,500,000.00 (Four million and Five hundred thousand United State Dollars) Western Union (WU) allowed criminals to use its global money transfer service to carry out hundreds of thousands of scams. The company admitted to this crimes in a federal settlement under which it has been agreed that they return $586 million to victims of the numerous fraud.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) said Thursday that Western Union knew for years that con artists were using its services but ignored the signs. That included more than 550,000 customer complaints the company received between January 2004 to June 2019. These con artists racked up billions in fraudulent transactions over that time period as reported by the FTC agency.

In some of their con tactics, these criminals would call a Western Union customer and direct them to wire money to claim a prize or to help a relative, once the money was sent, it would not be refunded/recovered. Some Western Union agents went along with the scam for a cut of the profits they usually get.
