Dear Recipient,
This is the office of the Secretary of Gilardi & Co.
We are reaching out to inform you about the real Scam Victim Compensation Program for Western Union, commonly referred to as the Western Union Remission Fund. This legitimate program is government-run and overseen by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and it is not a private Western Union initiative. The program was established to return money to victims who used Western Union to pay scammers from January 1, 2004, through 2025.
Please find below the key, verified details regarding this program:
- **Legitimacy:** This program is part of a $586 million settlement involving the DOJ, FTC, and Western Union.
- **Eligibility:** Compensation is available to victims who sent money transfers through Western Union to scammers within the specified timeframe—January 1, 2004, through 2025.
- **Compensation:** The program guarantees 100% compensation for verified losses.
- **Previous Status (Phase 2):** A second round of distributions occurred during 2022, 2023, and 2024, with over $40 million distributed to approximately 25,000 victims.
- **Current Status (Phase 3):** The third round of distribution began in 2025 and will continue into 2026, with over $24 million sent to approximately 15,000 victims.
In 2025/2026, during this latest high-denomination distribution of funds to rightful beneficiaries, your email address was among the select few that were successfully chosen in the online email balloting process, confirming you as one of the scam victims entitled to compensation.
Please kindly respond to this email immediately upon receipt so we can guide you on how to claim your funds. Note that this program is highly confidential due to security reasons.
The administrator for this program is Gilardi & Co., LLC.
We look forward to your prompt response.
Sincerely,
Lara McDermott
Secretary
