MoneyGram customers report widespread frustration with unexplained transaction blocks and rejections, particularly for long-time customers sending to familiar recipients. Customer service is repeatedly criticized as unhelpful, providing inconsistent information and refusing to explain why transactions are denied. Refund delays of 3-10 business days and sudden account closures compound customer frustration.

On September 3, we sent money to Mexico for the third time, we had a bad experience in customer service. His name, Larry, I think, was like an Arab or Mexican men but with a very bad character, no cordiality, no politeness towards us!

The money gram company should train the employees very well, not hire rude staff, they look like soldiers, no sympathy towards the customer, please train and improve the service! customer service walmart 75 N broadway chula vista and walmart 1200 Higland Ave national city 91950

Hello. My name is Gennady Gorovoy. From April till August I was in marvellous London as a tourist. Sure I won't take all the money with me, so my Mama was sending me from Israel- little by little. But one day we saw refuse. WHY????

I didn't do something wrong and, because of war and pandemia, haven't been using this company for years. But customer service in Israel and in UK told I was suspicious. HOW COME???? So, we suffer all the vacation and sent money other way, paying plenty of money for cards and debit.

WHY YOU TREAT PEOPLE LIKE SHIT? I WANT AN EXPLANATION. number 31310339 Gorovoy Tatiana to Gennady

Horrible service. I received money through e transfer March 10 today is March 13. No money in my a/c. MONEY IN MINUTES. Every time I call a new case or reference number has been given to me some of the reps even said I already got the money.

Now I’m being told that their third party bank who does the e transfer have to refund them the money before I get it back! NEVER AGAIN will I deal with this company. Your customer service is terrible and your ability to understand the urgency of people needing their money is terrible.

I’ve had one of your reps even laughed , the other one saying oh this is a lot to read. I DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR THIRD PARTY I can get a refund via cheque or even cash for that matter.

This is my last transaction with money gram

I was contacted over 3 months ago about a transaction that I had sent that was never picked up ,they wanted to refund it to me. I was contacted by email. So I responded by calling the number given. I talked to somebody who said they were gonna send it to me.

I answered all the questions. And then yesterday I received a letter from the Treasury department of my state saying that moneygram sent the money to them because I never responded to picking it up. So now I have to jump through hoops with the Illinois state government to get $100 back. Thanks a lot moneygram.

Money Gram is the worse money transfer company I have ever used. I sent my wife money and they refused to accept her paper Id AS LEGITIMATE. They asked for papers to be filled out and sent in to them.

Everytime one phoned they said they would send the money in 48 hours. Never use this company......

They will make you fight for your money! My closests have to ho there few times, i have to call them several time to get the money! The agents are not helpful, and make a working with money Gramm very inconvinient.

They do admit the technical flaws and mistakes on their application but waits you to just accept it as it is. I spoke with few people rhat was balling me from one place to another and at the end Ihsxan manager of complaint department refuse to take a necessary steps to finish my complain.

Accusing me, and saying that it is my mistake for this inconvenience. And although there is technical flaws that it is my mistake to sending money to this country.

El servicio al cliente de Moneygram Online es pésimo. LLamé para saber el estado de mi transacción porque la envié hace 4 dias y aun no se refleja en la cuenta. El agente grosero, mal educado, hablaba encima de lo que yo decia y de forma tan desatinada me dijo "Si quiere un mejor servicio tiene que pagar por ello, asi de sencillo" No recomiendo Moneygram a nadie y tampoco lo volveré a usar.

I sent money through money gram to Turkey. Went to 5 different locations and was unable to get the money because they said the amount exceeded their limit. I wasn’t told that this would happen prior to sending the money.

I called money gram customer service and the said the can refund my money but I’ll loose the $15 transaction fee and I would get my refund in 10 business days. Customer service are rude and unhelpful. I would not recommend these people to anyone.

Send at your own risk.

Never trust Moneygram with your money.

I made a £2,000 cash money transfer to my wife's account to cover our moving expenses on June 3rd. The transfer was reverted immediately by the receiving bank (Revolut) due to receiving limits associated with my wife's account. An official letter was provided by the receiving bank that the funds were reverted to an account with Sort code: 203229 and Account number: 60830887. I immediately raised this with Moneygram and they told me an investigation began which will be resolved in 4 business days. After 4 business days, I contacted Moneygram again and was told that the matter was escalated and I should wait for another 3 business days. This timeframe has now also passed without resolution, and no updates are provided by Moneygram to me.

I'm writing this because I'm confident that Moneygram will never look into this because I've reached out to their customer support numerous times and each and every representative has no idea what they're supposed to be doing. So my problem was that I attempted to send two moneygram transactions, each worth $20, but they both failed.

If the transaction fails, the bank would not debit funds usually ; however, the following day, I discovered that my bank had charged me for those transactions. I contacted moneygram and inquired as to whether those two transactions were completely unsuccessful because my bank had charged me for the same transactions.

Maria and Doha, two customer service representatives, both informed me that those transactions had failed, and Maria suggested that I contact…

I sent money tunTurkey from USA on December 22nd 2021. Today is January 11th 2022. Money still not deposited. They text me money successfully deposited whic is not true. I have been calling them everyday because I have a case number.

Investigation is going on still. I lost my money and time. It was emergency medical money. They always say we are waiting for responds from receivers bank but I already call them the said money is not there. My receiver send a bank statement to MoneyGram too.

So there is a proof that money is not in the bank account. I have to open case for that with my attorney. This is ridiculous.

Ok, I am a 50 yr old woman with no criminal background. I live in Mexico and occasionally a friend or family member wants to send me a little money. Anywhere from $25 to the most recent of $750. This started in 2018 when I went to a Moneygram location to receive some money from the US and was told the transaction was rejected.

Another location told me the same story. Fast forward to 2019, my mom sent me $75 to assist me with bills, etc. as I was out of work. AGAIN Moneygram intercepted the transfer and I was told by an agent at a physical pick-up location that the transfer was "flagged for suspicious activity"! WTF?

Then, she discreetly told me that I was under suspicion for money laundering.... MONEY LAUNDERING??? $35 at a time and only on occasion. Disgruntled with this ridiculous…

s. w. , Miami, fl. would not allow me to complete the transaction. Is there a problem with money GRAM? This money is to help my brother Jeffrey Ramsey pay for his extensive dental work. I plan on trying to send this amount again tomorrow, Saturday, 8/7/21.

If this problem occurs again, I will deal with Western union instead, and not ever again with money GRAM. Lydia Westerlund

As an outstanding customer for over 10 years, and after having sent more than $20,000 during this period, to the same 4 or 5 persons, I suddenly could not send through the CVS store anymore. I wasted one-half of a day trying to find out why the transfer could not go through. No success.

I then signed up to send money online. With the very first attempt to send money to a person to whom I had sent money in the past, the transaction did not go through. I was then locked out of the system and given a number to call.

No one in the service department could tell me why I was blocked from using the system because of security. What security? I'm retired, I have no criminal record and I've been using the same bank account for 40 years.

This is absurd, if not illegal. I asked what am I supposed…

It is not a complaint and it is a concerned inquiry. I have become aware that your service is selectively discriminating against me specifically. In other words I am being 86ed by Money Gram. I have made 2 tries in 3 years to send $ using your service and I get rejected.

I want to know why. Run my name through your system and you, not me, will know why. I wish to know the reason. Please reply. Thank you.

I was scammed on an online dating site in 2016. I lost alot of money. I filed a report with my local Police department, FBI, FTC,BBB and wrote a few articles to pertinent agencies. I contacted Money Gram with a copy of all my receipts,requesting my funds back!

I never heard back rom them. Since them I've resubmitted my experience with the Department of Justice , Internet Crime Complaint Center and thus far the Attorney General's Office. I am far from speaking out and getting justice!! I DO NOT give up and will do everything/anything possible to see criminals/scam artists/Psychological Brainwashing banned!!

I tried to send money to my elderly mother in law in Europe. The transaction was accepted at the time of purchase and a reference number was printed. My mother in law walked several blocks to get $300 USD and was told the transaction was denied.

I called Money Gram and they stated the denial was to protect me and my money. I asked them to explain and the said they were protecting me and my money. I even spoke to a Manager online and got the same answer.

Is this a computer programing error? Is this profiling? Is this discrimination? Money Grams statements appear to be inconsistent and avoid questions regarding their denial. Why this company is still in business. Don't let the elderly travel to do business with Money Gram.

It's a waste of time. Very Poor Customer Service overall. Very…

A woman named Valerie at the Lakewood, Colorado office couldn't give my son the money I sent him because I put the name his last name in the first name box and vice versa. Understandable. But, she didn't tell my son what he would need to do to fix this. She didn't give him the phone number to call to change it. She sent him away as implied I should resend the money. I couldn't do that. Some workers are very little help. This woman needs to be talked to by the boss. She was doing the bare minimum she had to do. If I hired this person, I might fire them for being so rude as well, refusing to give her name and with an attitude. I may go elsewhere to send money next time. Thank you for your time.

My online account is closed because of your incompetent online staff. I made a transaction online and because the space provided for me to enter a name was not big enough the transaction was not allowed. I called to amend the transaction and your incompetent escalations department closed my account because I did not give them a detailed reason for why I wanted to send $20.

This is absolutely ridiculous and now supposedly there is no one to speak to about this incompetence and there supposedly nothing that can be done. This is ridiculous.
