Domestic (US) money transfer Fraud or scam

Domestic (US) money transfer Fraud or scam New York

In - 2015, I transferred money to my son via Western Union. Today my son told me that he received a debit card in the mail! I have a problem with this. Obviously, my son was in need of money at the time, and I believe Western Union is using the transfer of money as an opportunity to scam, defraud or otherwise take advantage of the disadvantaged by mailing debit cards to those recipients ( with name and account number imprinted on it ). I am hoping the Federal agencies will step in to require Western Union to discontinue mailing solicitations to my son ( who is considered a " - person '' under the - and other landmark legislation ) and others who are similarly situated in the form of debit cards to incur a debt that he/they can not possibly repay! Since then, I have also been inundated with emails from Western Union and others. If I recall, there was an option to unsubscribe to updates and further communications. Yet, I receive spam from Western Union.
