I sent money using WU & the receiver informs me that they've been banned from using WU? Will I have any problems getting a refund? Should I avoid WU in the future? 

 
This is just my experience.  I got ripped off bad when I first joined the game.  I went to WU on the first one.  My bank denied the transaction at first.  I did it online.  Since it was denied by the bank, I call WU, and they said it was just a matter of the authorization request dropping off and then the money would be debited back into my bank.  I didn't think much of it as that is how most hotels and many other transactions are.  After 7 days, I called WU again to find out how come I still didn't have my money back.  They informed me that it is policy to keep sending through the transaction until they do get authorization.  On day five they did get it.  Called my bank and there is nothing they could do.

For me MG just doesn't work at least out of the US if you try it online.  I have found that if I take the same cash to Walmart and do the transaction it goes through in less than 5 minutes.

 
I don't believe I'm being ripped off. The seller was bannned & can't get funds but I'm wondering if WU will be a problem for me to use based on this transaction. Ii may be overthinking this.

 
@Biteme   I have had issues with Wu and Mg in the past but I can still use them.  I think you will be ok and as long as you are able to prove you sent the money, you should be able to get a refund.  Receivers change all the time and I have even had to call Wu to change the receiver after getting an email from the vendor requesting a change.  It happens everyday and I think your assessment is correct.... I, like you, have a tendency to overthink things, especially in this game!! :)  

 
I got the refund minus the WU fee after about 45 minutes while the guy at the place I used to send the money talked to various people at WU.

  1. T @ tylerderrden: Dunno
  2. S @ soupson: What happened to chem genie?
  3. D @ drdrizzy13: LSU is trash and has always been trash but a night game in death valley is unlike anything I've experienced. Except the first game back to the superdome reopened after Katrina destroyed it. Everybody was crying and drunk as shit lol. All time favorite in person sports moment ever.
  4. M @ meepmoopmeep: Kiffin is a traitor and he and LSU deserve each other since they’re both complete trash
  5. D @ drdrizzy13: yea he's a joke lol. Can't stand him.
  6. L @ Layne_Cobain: You know who rly sucks…lane kiffin 😂 dude is all that’s wrong with college sports or at least a big chunk of it…and he lied about being told he could still coach ole miss in the playoffs
  7. D @ drdrizzy13: Hey at least Ole Miss got in. I can't stand LSU. They really sucked this year.
  8. M @ meepmoopmeep: as an A&M fan I’m content with us missing the SECCG for that reason. Georgia about to fuck Alabama up
  9. D @ drdrizzy13: Yeah I agree if bama loses I think they are out. That would be 3 losses. I don't see a 3 loss team getting in this year.
  10. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah that’s why sark was pleading his case about that Texas shouldn’t be punished for scheduling a non conference game against the best team and losing if they hadn’t done that they’d probably be in but oh well way it goes there’s always gonna be a few teams who get robbed or feel they got robbed even with a 12 team playofff…if bama loses to Georgia I’d think they’d be out but who knows
  11. D @ drdrizzy13: Alabama also lost to Florida State pretty bad. Whom Florida beat. I just think if they didn't decide to play ohio state the first game. They would be in with 2 losses instead of Alabama.
  12. M @ meepmoopmeep: @drdrizzy13 Texas lost to Florida of all teams, they weren’t heading for the playoffs anyways imo. At least not this year
  13. D @ drdrizzy13: Texas is offically out of the playoffs they didn't make the top 12. I do wish they were in it. They showed up against Texas AM. But there fatal flaw was scheduling Ohio State for their opening. Which would have been great if they won but they are a 3 loss team now.
  14. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah idk about arch I could see him staying with Sark for another year but if he plays rly well in the playoff who knows that is if they get in
  15. D @ drdrizzy13: Man a lot of Saints fan want Arch but I think he said he is playing another year. I would take him probably. But if Texas AM QB comes out or Ohio State's I think you gotta take one if your picking top 2.
  16. L @ Layne_Cobain: Is the qb class supposed to be stacked or thin for draft in April I follow college ball but I can’t think right now I think there’s def at least a few high potential qb declaring
  17. D @ drdrizzy13: Right now I believe we pick 2nd. ATM.
  18. D @ drdrizzy13: At first I figured he might be able to do something but our position players suck. We are playing a rookie QB. O-line sucks. It needs to be blown up. I hope we tank for the first pick
  19. L @ Layne_Cobain: Hopefully you guys maybe find a solid qb option in the draft you should end up with a very good pick
  20. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah dude Moore def does not seem like the guy for yall need to clean house
