FTC.gov/WU is operated by the United States Department of Justice.  The DOJ claims that Western Union failed to maintain an effective anti money laundering system which in turn made the money sending system ripe with wire fraud.  According to the terms of the settlements WU admits that is was in violation of the Bank Secrecy Act and anti-fraud statutes.

The money scams associated with many of the Western Union fraud cases revolved around Princes asking consumers for money in return for riches, falsely promised job opportunities, and lucrative prizes if consumers would send money.  Experts close to the case announced that more than 500,000 consumers have already been notified of remission eligibility via US Mail.
