Page Name

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

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]
