Subject: Attn: Dear Beneficiary,

Department of Justice Begins First Distribution of Funds
Recovered Through Asset Forfeiture to Compensate Victims
of Western Union Fraud Scheme.

Dear beneficiary,

The Department of Justice announced today that the Western Union
Remission Fund began its first distribution of approximately $153
million in funds forfeited to the U.S. government from the Western
Union Company (Western Union) to over 500,000 victims located in the
United States and abroad. These victims, many of whom were elderly
victims of consumer fraud and abuse, will be recovering the full
amount of their losses.

The Justice Department, through the Asset Forfeiture Program, works
diligently to restore lost funds to victims of crime and acknowledges
the significant assistance of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service
(USPIS) Philadelphia Division’s Harrisburg, Pennsylvania Office in the
Western Union remission.

The victim compensation payments in the Western Union case would not
have been possible without the extraordinary efforts of the U.S.
Department of Justice Criminal Division’s Money Laundering and Asset
Recovery Section; the U.S. Attorney’s Offices for the Middle District
of Pennsylvania, the Central District of California, the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania, and the Southern District of Florida; and
the USPIS Philadelphia Division’s Harrisburg, Pennsylvania Office, the
FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office, the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal
Investigations, Homeland Security Investigations, Federal Reserve
Board and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Office of Inspector
General, and Department of the Treasury Office of Inspector General.

Certain owners, operators or employees of Western Union agent
locations were complicit in the schemes. Western Union aided and
abetted the fraud scheme by failing to suspend or terminate complicit
agents and by allowing them to continue to process fraud-induced
monetary transactions. Western Union had fulfilled its obligations
under the DPA and the government has filed a motion to dismiss the
information, which the court granted today.

This first round of payments is one of several expected to occur in
the Western Union remission. The Department of Justice sent petitions
for remission to over 500,000 potential victims of the Western Union
fraud and anticipates authorizing compensation for many more victims
until next month.

Western Union turned a blind eye to the fraudulent payments made
through its money transfer system,” said Andrew Smith, Director of the
Federal Trade Commission’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. “We’re glad
to be returning money to those consumers who were ripped off by
fraudsters exploiting the Western Union system, and we will not
tolerate Western Union or other payments companies facilitating
fraud.”
