Phishing is a type of online fraud designed to steal your personal information, for example:

• usernames
• passwords
• credit card
• or other sensitive details

Phishing is usually done through an email that looks like a trusted email from MoneyGram. The email contains links that redirect you to a fake website that looks exactly like the original MoneyGram website. It’s best not to click on the links in the email. If you want to visit our site, enter the website address in your browser instead of clicking on an email link.

Here are some things to look out for if you suspect you’ve received a phishing email:

• links to a website asking you to verify your account information;
• links to a website requesting bank account or credit card numbers, usernames and passwords;
• threats that if you do not verify your account information, it will be closed;

It’s a good practice never to click on links you receive via email. Instead, enter the website address directly into your internet browser.
