MoneyGram Scam Email Report: See Sample Format Online

MoneyGram was used in email scam. Look at the sample format and be aware! We received another scam email and it’s related to MoneyGram International. For those people who are not familiar what is MoneyGram all about, it is a remittance. It offers easy and convenient money transfers. We all know that in MoneyGram, we can easily send and receive money.

When I check the MoneyGram locations mentioned in the email I received, surprisingly it was on MONEY GRAM INTERANATIONAL COTONOU BENIN REPUBLIC with an ADDRESS 455 AGBOKOU,ANKPA ROAD LAGOTES PALAR.

Checking loctions in MoneyGram online official website is possible. Visiting https://secure.moneygram.com/locations when I search “Benin Republic” or “Lagotes Palar”, there is no MoneyGram locations for those addresses.

Therefore I conclude that the email I received is obviously a scam. Read the message. The scammer want to me to send money to him via MoneyGram. Transferring money is easy. However, why should I send money to the person I don’t personally know.

Conclusion to this MoneyGram Scam Sample

Wow, it’s awesome and I will feel great if I received $3,500 (three thousand five hundred US dollars) per day. And the good thing is, I should receive $2.5 million in total.

I hope that’s true. But, you can easily make me believe that’s true. There will be MoneyGram fees to consider when transferring money. In the email scam I received, the scammer want me to send money to him a $98 US. And the obvious part is I will send money to Oyni Musa with the security answer and question when sending the money. The scammer used the word “In God We Trust” to make the email sound to good to be true.

Fantastico! Unfrotunately, the scammer send his email to the wrong person. He send the MoneyGram scam email to the one who reviewed the “scams and fraud” online.

 

Should you send money via MoneyGram international even if you don’t know the person? Of course not! I don’t think if these is one of the popular Nigerian scams. Its from Benin. Beware to internet scams. Scammers will do anything to lure you until they make you a scam victim. Use your financial intelligence. Stay tuned to InvestmentTotal.com for ore scam alert.
