What is phishing?
Phishing is a type of online fraud designed to steal your personal information such as user names, passwords, credit card details or secret questions and answers on a fake MoneyGram website. Phishing is typically carried out by e-mail and is disguised to appear as a legitimate e-mail from MoneyGram. Links in these emails direct you to a fake website that looks like the legitimate MoneyGram online site.
Here are some things to look for in a phishing e-mail:
Links to a website that ask you to verify your account information
Links to a website that ask you for your bank account or credit card numbers, usernames and passwords
Threats that if you don't verify your account information, your account will be shut down
