Moneygram Problems

they put the firstname and 1st last name, they forgot the 2nd lastname i said go put the 2nd last name and it was blocked, so you think maybe it was the reciver not the sender? i already requested a new reciever name and got one

Yes, that indeed sounds like a receiver problem to me. I presume that changing the receiver at this point will be difficult, if not impossible. Canceling the transaction and obtaining a refund would, in my mind, be the preferred course of action. If MG balks in any way, you might consider sending 99 Luftballons a PM, as he has some recent experience dealing with such matters and may be able to provide some guidance.

Did they give you a number for the "FBI"? did you Google it? what did it say?

 
Vendors need to have about 10 receivers. What do they expect when they have 1-3 and they are being sent 10k a day. LE is slow if they were not on this faster IMHO.

Also, I am not so sure they were not just trying to scare you. Not like LE to make you aware that they are looking into you until they have what they want.

That would be like a ninja telling you they are a ninja...just doesn't happen. You realize they are ninja when you are holding your entrails.

Well, there ARE exceptions to that rule. Like Wookies for instance. We'll be glad to tell you that we're going to rip your arms off in advance, yet the outcome remains the same! /default_laugh.png

Please don't interpret my comments as a recommendation to NOT seek legal counsel or to NOT take precautionary measures on all matters IT related. Just pointing out that from a criminal defense perspective, making preemptive telephone calls to answer unasked questions is generally not the preferred strategy.

very well understood, i guess i jumped to worst case scenario.  Big Brother is always watching and I always try to eliminate things that I could have done in order to prevent an unfortunate outcome.  Thanks again for your insight.

 
Something HAIRY might be a foot?

I'm glad these aren't my feet.  

I bet Jewy's feet look much better!

Have to say, I thought those were a shot of J-bacca's feet.  /default_ohmy.png

 
I have not placed an order from an SY vendor in a couple of years. I recently went to wire money using MoneyGram at an in-person location (a latino market) using ficticious sender information on the form just as I used to, and the clerk asked for an ID. The amount was under $250. I questioned this and she pointed to a poster affixed to the inside of the glass which appeared to be printed by the federal government and specified that an ID must be provided. They also wanted my social security number and occupation. I took back the form and left. Is this the new standard practice for senders at MoneyGram? Or was this just the policy of that location? Has anyone else had this experience? Should I switch to Western Untion?

Thanks in advance.

 
I had just had a problem where I wanted a refund and needed to show ID for that. Luckily I had ID matching the names. Warning to anyone who may not use a name that can be accompanied by ID. Had this happend on earlier tranx I would have been out the $, as I would not have had proof (ID) that I was the sender.

But I've never been asked for ID arbitrarily like that before when I was sending small amounts. I know under a 1000 they aren't supposed to ask, but everyong knows that, and I'm sure that you do too. 

Jewy offers some info about the whole money sending thing in the sales-meds page

Are the clerks allowed to just ask at random if they feel something is off? I'd be interested to know if we're really just more paranoid or if they are starting to infringe on our lawful anonymity? (I use lawful but I use it not actaully knowing if anonymity is truly lawful of not, just FYI)

  1. P @ psychedpsych: Have good day people, and I hate texting messages lol
  2. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  3. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  4. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  5. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  6. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  8. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  9. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  10. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state

  12. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  13. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?

  15. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  16. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  17. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  18. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though

  20. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Actually it says "Not For Real ID Purposes". That is my 2022 renewal of my 2018 picture ID. I am not due till 2026 and I am sure they will make me go in since my pic would be 8 years old - they used to make you go in in my state for aging when I was younger, then went paper - then back to picture ( I think 9/11 to blame for that ) but relaxed it.
