What is this lawsuit about? The Federal Trade Commission (or FTC), and the Department of Justice (or DOJ)  investigated various schemes in which fraudsters contacted victims and falsely posed as family members in need or federal law enforcement officials, or falsely promised prizes, loans, employment opportunities, discounted products or other financial awards.  The scammers then used Western Union as a way to obtain the money from the victim.
