I have attached an article we received from the Federal Trade Commission, in regards to a $586 million settlement from Western Union.
As you all know, wiring money is one of the most common ways that scammers get people’s money. By using a variety of methods to scare or entice individuals, scammers most often ask you to wire money directly to them via Western Union or Money Gram.
I encourage you to print this article and make it avail be to members of your community that frequent your senor center. You can also feel free to print it in your newsletters
