Moneygram Problems

So glad you were able to get it figured out. /default_smile.png 

I wasn't as fortunate. 

 
I just tried to pay for an order with MG online and it was refused /default_sad.png really don't want to go to a shop to do it seems very intimidating.

Go to Walmart. It's fine. The people there are just doing their job. They don't care. It'll be fine.

 
So, not sure if I should make this its own thread, like a MG Vcom thread? Anyway, going forward it looks like Moneygram Vcom machines are no longer capable of sending to a different country (according to two different mg reps Ive talked to and personal experience). Face to face and the red phone are still good, but no more Vcom, at least going south of the border.

I wouldn't worry about a seperately thread. Probably not enough post activity on that specific element of MG. In fact, this would be a good time for me to work on rearranging and organizing the various payment threads anyway. Lots of odds and ends floating around in that area, LOL. Thanks for the update though. Yet more screw tightening where the flow of funds is concerned.

 
No problem. I think the sy guys are gonna have to get some stateside receivers or watch their business dry up.

That seems like a good idea - but - the cost to do an MG transfer from within USA to USA is $20 - and that is to only transfer $200.  So, by the time that you have shipping and transfer fees together, you would be spending between $75-$85.  Boo.

Ouch. I didn't realize state to state was so much. Still, better than not being able to do business at all, though, no? On the positive side, domestic receivers would open WU back up, too...

 
Apparently, Moneygram is down today. So I sent the money and now it is pending until they fix whatever issue they are having!! Ugh! I have the worst luck!

 
I guess no one else but me did. Right in the middle of the transaction, MG shut down! I had already paid so the gut calls MG, who told him that the transfer had gone through and gave him a reference # to give to me. I did not get a receipt or anything. So I checked later to see if MG was picked up and the customer service rep told me it had been cancelled!! Mind you, I already paid. So I went back to Walmart and they looked it up and it said "transaction pending"!?! The manager said they had issues with MG all day and that it should go through by tomorrow. She reassured me that it would be resolved one way or another(either receiver gets funds or I get refund). Damn! It is unbelievable how one person could have such bad luck!! Not just with this kind of thing but with everything lately! Ugh! I guess all I can do is hope it works out. Anyway, thanks for reading and if you have had a similar experience, please share!

Sorry to hear about all your trouble, Lucy. I would like to hear if others had any issues as well.

I know how you feel. Sometimes it seems that one thing goes wrong then bad luck keeps on coming.

Keep your chin up, it will get better!

is the MG transaction at a Walmart really better than a CVS? or Urban better than suburban? I've only noticed differences with the operator/agent i get. I use the same MG phone station repeatedly

 
does a minor spelling error in the sender's name matter that much? like to know, otherwise I'd have to go back and fix it with MG, takes a while

 
Spelling errors are a crucial mistake 

 
V74 I used to go to the big big box without any problems. Go when they're busy, less likely to ask questions. But in the end find some place you feel comfortable with. Also you may consider an a k a. Has it's pluses and minuses.

I just re-read your post and mistakenly thought receiver, which could be a big boo boo! however if you spelled your own name wrong or an AKA I would'nt worry. Hopefully you didn't spell your own name wrong /default_smile.png Just sayin' ya got to be careful.

  2. xenxra @ xenxra: @3ak mostly, will prob be gone entirely by end of summer imo
  3. F @ frozenSR17: hope everyone has a nice start 2 their weekend. "keep it one hunnid," as someone once said to me
  4. 3 @ 3ak: 4f-mph dried up?
  5. xenxra @ xenxra: pretty sure black also went rogue sometime late last year
  6. Strawhat7 @ Strawhat7: Yo, whatever happened to Mr. Black? Just got a rando email from him after ghosting me like a year and a half ago
  7. LW815 @ LW815: Know what’s really going on in somebody else’s head or how much they’re really dealing with and feel like they’re left with no other options. Been a very sad few days but 2 complete (irl anyway) strangers cared enough about what I was going through to talk to me about it, though they owe me nothing and have no reason to help my personal pain other than the kindness in their own hearts. Just shows that this place is a real community, not just a forum of people who only care about themselves.
  8. LW815 @ LW815: Was nodding in/out the entire time writing those shouts and spparently was fully out sending the last one lol. But II find it ‘uplifting’ as two people I’ve never actually met and only know the others online presence through subscriptions, who I have a better chance of getting a handy J from Jesus Christ himself, both were so quick to share their own experience and wise words and assurances that things will look up and not to feel guilty or be mad at somebody for going that route - as you never
  9. xenxra @ xenxra: @hotdog45 meh, same difference. they both got blacklisted on here. wouldn't be the first time a rogue shop sent out unsolicited comms after the fact.
  10. MOD @ MOD: Hello @everyone
  11. LW815 @ LW815: Own personal experience with this kind of this type kind of situation and sympathized with my pain when I really just needed somebody to talk to. Both went out of their way to help a stranger in a time of need when I really needed somebody, and body to talk to. MM
  12. LW815 @ LW815: Sent a simple conf email and I just dropped a ball on them. I really just needed to let it out, didn’t expect them to reply in such a thoughtful way that it drastically changed the rest of my day and mindset for the bette . Above and beyond - and the last night while chatting with another that I knew had at least once one child,, so i wished them a belated happy Father’s Day, which again caused me to spill it all to them and again received the most thoughtful and kind response, as well as their-
  13. LW815 @ LW815: They didn’t need to. They could have just continued on with the nature or the main purpose of what the relationship between us is, I didn’t really have anybody else to let it out to at the time and they both went far beyond what I’d expect. Not that I’d assumed they’re cold/A-holes - it was just a lot from somebody who’s technically a competent stranger. A very close friend of mine committed suicide on Father’s Day and iwas emotionally wrecked witih nobody to talk to, and the first author just
  14. LW815 @ LW815: @Mokachin0 not really uplifting in the normal sense, but two popular authors on here took the time out of their likely very busy days to not only read my massive walls of text, but both also replied with the most kind, thoughtful and positive responses when I randomly dumped my personal problems into their laps
  15. H @ hotdog45: I have never ordered mags from him I meant
  16. H @ hotdog45: @xenxra I thought that too but after digging on the site it is chemical cabinet. Either way I deleted the email. I have ordered mags from him, but I thought you guys should know he's reaching out to people again. After reading the thread if anyone gets an email from him I would suggest doing the same.
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: @hotdog45 isn't that ghost? he threw his rep in the trash and got blacklisted
  18. O @ oh be g: thank you! hopefully this will inpsirw someone!
  19. M @ Mokachin0: @oh be g check your dms!
  20. O @ oh be g: these were instilled in me by a coworker who has had about the worst trauma experiences in life and he is still the most positive upbeat guy ive met
