MoneyGram Scam Alert, Be Alert!
Wow, getting almost three million US Dollars from someone you don’t know is pretty cool. However, this is just an email message. We know this is obviously a scam.

What if you receive the same email message? What would you do? I suggest just ignore the message. I did some experiment about this message. I copied the reference number, go to MoneyGram website and check the tracking number and unfortunately, the result is “No record of this transaction can be found.”.
