Few things are more anxiety-provoking than learning an account was hacked. It's important to remain calm and take action quickly to prevent any further problems from unfolding. Here are several steps you can take on your own if you discover your Western Union account was hacked.

Step One: Report the Problem to Western Union

You can report the problem by phone by calling Western Union's fraud hotline at 800-448-1492. Tell the Western Union representative exactly what happened. If there is a pending transfer that has not yet been processed, Western Union can stop the transaction and authorize a refund.

Step Two: Forward Any Suspicious Emails to Western Union

Check your inbound and outbound email activity to see if you notice any strange messages or information pertaining to transactions you never authorized. Then, forward any suspicious emails to spoof@westernunion.com.

Step Three: File a Fraud Claim

Filing a fraud claim can help prevent future hacking and may help you recover any lost funds. Western Union offers three ways to file a fraud claim:

1. File a claim by phone. Call 800-448-1492 and tell the Western Union representative you wish to file a claim.
2. Complete Western Union's online fraud report form. You will need the tracking numbers for each fraudulent incident.
3. Send the completed fraud report form to your local law enforcement agency. Western Union will work with them to address the issue.

Step Four: Reset Your Password

A complex password is one of your best lines of defense against hackers. The Western Union Security Center offers a variety of helpful tips on password resets. Examples include using a different password for each of your accounts, running anti-spyware programs, and using a mix of numbers, lowercase letters, and uppercase letters. If you are locked out of your account and you notice strange activity, reach out to Western Union at 800-448-1492.

How To Tell If Your Western Union Account Was Hacked
