I think MoneyGram is worthless. I purchased a money order for over $500 to pay for a Slimming Product back in December and my packet was lost in the mail. The money order inside was fraudulently cashed with an obvious forgery. I've been trying to get this $500 back for about 4 months now and counting. I have called MoneyGram at least 7 times since this money order was lost and the most they can tell me is that it can take up to a year for them to recover the money from the bank. Not to mention that every step in the process costs more money- getting a copy of the forged money order, filing an affidavit for the fraudulently cashed money order, etc. They are making money off of consumers being victimized.

NEVER USE MONEYGRAM!!! Use a certified check instead. I have learned my lesson the hard way. I'll call CAF to be properly helped with this matter.

      I agree. Money gram makes it almost IMPOSSIBLE for a consumer to revcover money on fraud cashing of money orders. On-line or the numerous 800 numbers they provide to resolve issues is worthess and a waste of time.  Sorry guys use a bank or credit union not a scammy, scumy co like this one!

    "NEVER USE MONEYGRAM!!! Use a certified check instead."

    And how would that have better protected you, if you were dealing with a "diet scam", worthless regardless of whether you got anything or not?  Shill advice, to appear to be a "consumer victim", while advocating this "CAF".

    "I have learned my lesson the hard way. I'll call CAF to be properly helped with this matter."

    The real purpose of the above post.

    Shill, like other posts advocating CAF, that started appearing in fall 2010.

    Moneygram is an over complicated service that allows an elementary security system to arbitrarily decide whether or not to allow you to send money, and if it believes you have a valid purpose. My company has been trying to purchase a small cheap piece of equipment from Japan and Moneygrams system decided we do not have a legitimate enough purpose, and therefore cancelled our transaction, leaving us with only more expensive options. Moneygram operators were much less than helpful. We DO NOT recommend attempting to use moneygram to send money internationally.
