Page Name

[edit]

Should this page be moved to MoneyGram International with a redirect from the current page since that is the real name of the company? The article is about the company and not a product, right?Vegaswikian 06:09, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Fraud Discussion

[edit]

Nigeria is not the only country conducting scams, and article should not be bias only against Nigeria....(2nd Revert) See WP:NPOV for reference on this issue. If you want to discuss this...do it here Gohiking 15:57, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i've never used a moneygram before........ if a person should find my moneygram money order un filled out and with the receipt stub still attached can that person fill it out and get the money,(Ex:)i juast got my moneygram money order,now on the walk out the door i loose it and never find it,now lets say joe shmoe finds it and puts his name and a person to pay it to and cashes it.....does he get away with it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.10.229.86 (talk) 21:14, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Fraud section is way too slanted against MoneyGram, all payment methods are in involved with scams... What is the MoneyGram cashier going to do, refuse to do their job? The article shouldn't criticize them so much, it reads like it was written by an angry scam victim. See WP:NPOV 78.82.140.180 (talk) 01:53, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The fraud section has been rewritten so only to include facts. March 2010. If anyone thinks this lends "undue weight" tell me here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cch101 (talk • contribs) 11:35, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Part of MoneyGram cashier's job is to warn potential customers of obvious scams as mandated by the consent decree that MoneyGram signed. The fact is that many scammers use MoneyGram and Western Union to collect money due to fraud. In fact, in one case in particular, it was found that MoneyGram agents were at best looking the other way. Be that as it may I'm not sure that the level of detail is required as most of the frauds listed are covered under Advance-fee Fraud so including them here may be duplicative though I personally do not feel it is.Mysteryquest (talk) 23:11, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Moneygram's lawsuit at the hands of the Federal Trade Commission, requiring an $18 million settlement, is certainly notable and worthy of inclusion.[1] --Jprg1966 (talk) 03:57, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"If MoneyGram fulfills its obligations under the settlement, prosecutors will seek dismissal of the charges of aiding and abetting wire fraud." --> This is written in the future tense, but the 5-year period ended 6-7 years ago. This warrants an update. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1702:22D0:EE0:A97D:AAA7:14AD:C777 (talk) 16:23, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Your updates on Moneygram should warn people who use this service that it takes 7 days or more to get a refund in cash or cheque, when they are the ones to tell you the money sent was not issued to the person on the receiving end. They will tell you to call them in 24 hours, so when you call them in 24 hours for a refund, they give you a refund reference number, then they ask you to call back them back in 24-48 hours. I called them back the following day which was today (Tuesday) and then they tell me the same thing. So I called them on Wednesday, which is today. I have gone along with their request only to be told that the money that I sent on Sunday, I will have to call them back in another 24-48 hours, which now puts me back to calling them Thursday & Friday. So hopefully I will have my money back by Sunday. And by the way, the call center you are going to be connected to is India. The people speaking Ènglish`are very hard to understand and when you ask for a supervisor, their Ènglish`is just as bad as the first, second and third person you have spoken to in Ènglish`.The only global service this company offers is that their call center is globally located in India. This is my personal opinion and first and last experience. By the way you will get better service by going to Western Union, a real globally servicing company. I have sent money through WU from Canada to USA and Mexico, and from Mexico to Africa. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.244.207.182 (talk) 22:17, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
