I just got a moneygram. There's this cute thing thats a pink stop sign, 
it's heat sensitive, if you touch it, it fades and the reappears. It tells 
you so on the moneygram, and it's true.

It at least proves that if you're being scammed, somebody went to the
effort of getting suitable paper with the heat-sensitive ink on it, and
didn't print it off on their personal laser printer.

(Similar to any anti-counterfeiting stuff on paper money - stuff like
watermarks and color-changing ink don't *prove* the bill is genuine,
but it significantly raises the bar)
