Moneygram Troubles!

[monalee]

OK so I was just informed today that Moneygram will no longer let me send money!  WTF?  I have been a light user of MG for 2 years now...like every two months and order was less than $250.  They cancelled my order I tried to place today and when I called them they told me I can no longer use MG.  They said I was using it too much (last time I placed an order was in Dec 2013!!!!!)  I am so confused!  My vendor will only take MG.  Has this happened to anyone else?  I need to find a new vendor now...grrr.....would love some advice and hear others stories about MG.  Thanks!!

Unfortunately this has happened to many of us. I know how frustrating it is. At least you did not lose money.

I hate MG, had nothing but trouble with them. WU has been much better. Neither way though, I'm concerned about eventually having no options.

 

[monalee]

But do you know why it happened?  I don't understand the reasoning?  How could they make a judgement call based on little to no information other than money orders?  Can anyone recommend another payment service?

I'm with you monalee. See my other posts on here about MG. LE is leaning very hard on them. Think about it. A company tells you they don't want your business because you've given them too much business? If you want to understand today's world, as a very good artist/musician put it, 'Stop making sense'.

there is nothing confusing or complicated about these transfer companies. we of course by and large do not agree with their decision to roll over and play dead for the "man", then they would probably be committing seppuku if they didn't. mg is hardly the onliest one rolling over. balance of probability they will merely show you the door and cancel the transfer. take a run at xoom, same deal, different name. wu on the other hand has been often known to cancel the transfer, show you the door and most importantly: hand your money over to the gov.which is publicly published. now that truly sucks.

You're right wildings. Within the context of this crazy world, what mg, etc. is doing makes sense. The Man has hit our scene is every way he can, especially money transfer and shipping. I have to applaud one of the shippers. At least as of my last reading, they are not just rolling over, they are going to fight (though what they were involved in is not really related to this).

 

[monalee]

Well whatever has happened I am never using an online money service again.  I'm out.  The people that I spoke to yesterday were really odd and unprofessional...it was creepy.  I have never used WU as I heard they are the worst.  MG at least had their online interface but now it all seems like one big scam.  Good luck to others who continue to fight.../default_smile.png

I was under the impression that this was occurring mostly with SY vendors, is that still the case? Did MG ban you after sending to a non-SY iop? Just curious if your vendor was SY or not.

 

[sciatac]

Yeah for mg it has notihng to do with you sending too often, its that you triigerred that flag with who you were sending to. Happens very frequently these days, and it happens if you go in person or online. IMO the wire transfer people are not a viable option any more.

 

[monalee]

Hi sorry but I dont know what SY stands for?  Can you explain?  My vendor was from mex but shipped only inside the US.  So no customs.  But money had to be sent to mex so that is probably the flag.

And yes, wire transfers are not viable option.  I would steer clear of them!

If we don't use money transfers, what other options do we have?

That would be an SY. Thanks, that seems to be what I've heard. Mex receivers seem to get flagged quite a bit. These guys need to find a new way to get the money!

Anyone heard of this occurring with any frequency on non-mex venders?

 Not many unfortunately.  My vendor wont take anything but mg, so I'm done.  I guess it's looking like you have to find a good local doc.  I'm on the hunt for one now!

But SY =??  I'm still lost on that one!  I haven't used an IOP since 2009...that is dangerous territory.  I got one LL and that was the end of that.  Now with the MG trouble, its all over with this vendor too!

The SY's had too much heat put on them and Money Gram decided to start filtering wire transfers like this, Western Union I've heard has or is doing the same.

SY? They are Mex vedors that ship from within the US (or atleast the one I used did).

I wouldn't go crazy over one LL

I just wish someone would tell me what SY stood for!!  South Ymerica?  StealthY?  

That LL sufficiently freaked me out!  It was back in the drugbuyers days and when I posted about it someone told me to shred it, burn the shredded pieces, then take the ashes and spread them out on a pile of old dog doo-doo.  I was paranoid!  (Shirley Manson's voice was looping in my head)  

Now I'm freaking about MG and what those bastards will do with my personal info.  I can't delete my account until my refunds are processed from this debacle.  Once they are, I am deleting and printing out a picture of MG's website, shredding it, burning it...well you get the idea.../default_wink.png

I do not know how the term SY came about or what the abbreviation stands for

Was the LL for schedule 1 or 2 drugs? if it was I can understand but if it was for benzos or something like that I would say enough time has passed to give a IOP another go.

Not pointing you in any direction or telling you to use them but TTM takes credit cards and ships fast (10 days max for most in the US), it might work out for you if they have what you are looking for but it will not be overnight/next day like the SY vendors.

If you are looking for Hydr0 or something like that I don't think anyone will take a CC and that leaves you with Money Gram or Western Union.
