Se están enviando cheques de reembolso por un valor total aproximado de $147 millones de dólares a alrededor de 33,000 personas que le mandaron dinero a estafadores a través de transferencias efectuadas en Western Union. Los $147 millones de dólares son una parte del dinero que pagó Western Union cuando alcanzó acuerdos resolutorios con la FTC y el Departamento de Justicia y aceptó crear un sólido programa antifraude. En su acuerdo con el Departamento de Justicia, Western Union también admitió la responsabilidad de infracciones penales.

Estos reembolsos están destinados a personas de EE. UU. y otros países, incluidos muchos adultos mayores que perdieron dinero con estafas del abuelo, loterías, sorteos o de romances. Obtendrán una compensación del 100 por ciento por sus pérdidas verificadas. Esta es la segunda ronda de pagos relacionados con el acuerdo resolutorio con Western Union. En marzo de 2020, se enviaron cheques por un valor de $153 millones de dólares a más de 109,000 personas.

El Departamento de Justicia de EE. UU. (DOJ) prevé aprobar más reembolsos en los próximos meses. El DOJ también planifica ofrecerle a la gente, por primera vez, una manera de solicitar los reembolsos. También proporcionarán una manera para que la gente presenten documentación adicional para apoyar las reclamaciones que aún no han sido aprobados. Cuando se disponga de información sobre cómo solicitar los reembolsos o proporcionar documentación adicional, el DOJ la publicará en el sitio web Western Union Remission.

Los cheques de reembolso provendrán de “United States v. The Western Union Company”. Si estás en EE. UU., tienes que cobrar o depositar el cheque dentro de un plazo de 90 días. Si recibes un cheque, pero no estás de acuerdo con el monto, puedes cobrar el cheque y comunicarte con el administrador designado por el DOJ, Gilardi & Co., llamando al 844-319-2124 y en WesternUnionRemission.com. En Reembolsos de Western Union puedes consultar más información de la FTC sobre estos reembolsos.

Puede ser difícil detectar las estafas de phishing. Por ejemplo, hemos tenido noticias de una de estas estafas en la que la gente recibe un mensaje de texto que dice que tiene un paquete en espera y que tiene que hacer clic en un enlace para obtener más información. Parece algo bastante inocente, ¿cierto? Lamentablemente, no lo es.

Los mensajes son enviados por estafadores. En algunos casos, están dirigidos a estudiantes universitarios. En esa versión, los estafadores envían mensajes de texto a estudiantes que regresan a clase diciéndoles que hay un paquete esperándolos — a veces dicen que el paquete está en espera desde la última primavera, cuando muchos estudiantes debieron dejar la residencia universitaria y volver rápidamente a casa.

Cualquiera sea el texto del mensaje, la regla es siempre la misma: Si recibes un mensaje de texto inesperado sobre un paquete, no hagas clic en ningún enlace. Si piensas que el mensaje puede ser legítimo, comunícate con la compañía usando un sitio web o un número de teléfono que te conste que es real. Pero no uses la información del mensaje de texto.

¿Por qué te conviene evitar hacer clic en el enlace? Después de hacer clic, te pueden engañar para que des información personal — y con esos datos los estafadores te pueden robar contraseñas, números de cuenta o de Seguro Social. Al hacer clic en estos enlaces también podrías permitir que los estafadores te descarguen programas maliciosos en tu dispositivo.

Para aprender más sobre cómo funcionan estos esquemas, échale un vistazo a este artículo sobre estafas de tipo phishing.
