Recruitment Fraud Statement

Beware of Recruiting Fraud

Job Applicants should be aware of job recruitment, interviews, and offer scams being perpetrated on the Internet and social media platforms. Scammers frequently misappropriate and use a company logos and/or photos of its executives to give the appearance of legitimacy. The scams prey upon those seeking employment and uses false and fraudulent offers of interviews or employment.

MoneyGram believes that one of the best ways to put a stop to a scam is awareness. No applicant for employment with MoneyGram is ever required to pay any money as part of the job application or hiring process. MoneyGram’s recruiting staff sends email communications to job applicants only from “@moneygram.com” email accounts. MoneyGram’s job recruitment process involves in-person and/or telephonic/video interviews.

Recognizing Recruiting Fraud

The following are warning signs of recruiting fraud:

• Requiring a credit card, bank account number(s) or other personal financial information as part of the “job application” process.
• The open position does not appear on the company’s website listing of job positions.
• The contact email address contains a domain other than “@moneygram.com,” such as “@live.com,” “@gmail.com,” or another personal email account.
• The position requires an initial monetary investment, such as a payment by wire transfer.
• You are offered a payment or “reward” in exchange for allowing the use of your bank account (e.g., for depositing checks or transferring money related to employment).
• The job posting does not mention required qualifications and job responsibilities, but instead focuses on the amount of money to be earned.
