Moneygram Troubles!

[fhdbeuf]

I can’t use MG anymore either. I’ve tried several times and it works all the way until the end and it denies it. Since then I always use WU.

It sounds like WU is getting more business. I too had my go rounds with MG. Mine was banned on $50 I was sending within the US to my daughter. I had the same thought of "Now? For this get banned?!" The fraud rep said I was exhibiting money laundering tactics. Um. No, no sir. I work in the AML division for a huge bank--think international--and $50 transfers are just not how anyone launders money! For that matter even a couple hundred bucks to MX isnt how it's done either! Lord! 

I know when the old Alex was around he had looked at ways to use BCs but could never make it work. 

I know some international  folks are talking BC but I am always waiting too long to get my letter sent so I just stay with SYs for the ease of overnight/2 day. 

I made the age old mistake that I tell everyone not to make: don't use just one SY full time. I did that for so many years until I got fat and happy with Alex. Why don't I listen to myself?!

Just got banned from WU.  Code R7008.  Got questioned too.  Really sucked!

I got banned from using Ria no clue why. MG worked fine, haven’t tried WU yet. But I tried Xoom for SY vendor and it went through fast!!

Now my bank will not allow me to buy bitcoin.   This is ridiculous.   Anyone had any luck with a store bot visa or MasterCard.  I know netspend is no good anymore

I know this is the moneygram troubles thread so I will get to that in a moment. 

@uhad12 Wells Fargo allows you to purchase bitcoins just not with their credit card so I guess it depends on the individual bank's policy. I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your other question though.

On to Moneygram woes. If your transaction is denied and you get a call from any govt. agency by all means do not give out any information. Tell them whatever story you had ready for the clerk at Walmart if you were ever asked.

I don't care if they say you are lying, don't crumble. 

There have been a few instances of this happening recently, but only with south of the border transactions. Some transactions are going through as normal, but just in case you are unlucky I want you to be prepared.

Is Sharemoney or remitly a good option? That’s the only way I can send now using this vendor.

I have recently good luck with Sharemoney

I have recently good luck with Sharemoney 

I think I’ll go with this one. It seems like it could be a hit or miss with either one. Thanks for responding!

I recently had a WU seizure. Not sure what to expect.

 

[Painful heart]

Xoom worked for me. So did MG. But I think it depends on your bank.

@2earls I see you replied to my PM but I can't respond now for some reason. So if you can shed your insight on my message that would be great

I think your annual donation expired at a very inconvenient time for you. See the posts in the discussion thread for additional information and if you have any other questions just @2earls me there.

Netspend is somehow connected to MoneyGram you know.

            I got banned from MG a few months back; using WU but didn't use this service last time; use Xoom the transaction went through fast.

Banned from MG and WU and Remitly. 

Money seized from MG.

Hi @runnerlk, I tried to send you a message but it appears I can't for some reason? I'd love to shed some light. PM me if you can. 

 

[holly]

Wish I could figure out donation. Would tell you about recent seizure. Just don’t call the #.

 

[dsshints]

Holly,

  My funds were seized by WU and suggested I called the compliance # to answer more questions to get my money back. What is this about? How can they legally seize charitable funds?

 

[never2many]

I don’t think you’ll be calling WU if you call
