如果你是和我一样的MoneyGram的受害者，而且在你受害后报了警，那么你应该在最近的一两个星期内收到FTC及给你的补偿支票。check out this: http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2009/10/moneygram.shtm.

我是在2005年时报的案，这种案子一旦成立全部会转到FTC去，如果你是2004-2008年发生的，并报了案，那么你应该在最近的一两个星期内收到FTC寄来的支票，因为受害的人太多，所以FTC告了MoneyGram, 法院判MoneyGram赔偿他的客人18个Million. 尽管没有陪到全额的损失，但还是比没有好。等了六年唉。

Here is some information to share with you all, and hope it will help someone in the future:

Consumer Education

The FTC has a new Consumer Alert, available on its Web site at http://ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/alerts/alt034.shtm, titled “Money Transfers Can Be Risky Business.” It includes useful information on how consumers can avoid telemarketing and money transfer fraud, including the following tips. Don’t wire money to:

• someone you don’t know, in the U.S. or in a foreign country;
  
• someone claiming to be a relative in the midst of a crisis and who wants to keep the
  request for money a secret;
  
• someone who says a money transfer is the only form of payment that’s acceptable; or
  
• someone who asks you to deposit a check and send some of the money back.
