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.

I received a money transfer and had an option of receiving as email transfer directly to my account. There is some error that occurred while agent was processing it and now it’s been almost a week and they are not able to resolve the issue which is extremely disappointing. For a company whose business thrives on time sensitivity, it’s sad to see , they just don’t care about customers and I want quick resolution of the issue.

On June 11 I had sent a money transfer to Allan Cunanan in the Philippines. I did not send him the full reference number until I received what I was suppose to receive from him. I did not receive it so I did not give him the rest of the numbers so he should not been able to pick it up.

When I went to get my refund later I had found out the money had been picked up and the money transfer was closed. I would like to know how he could have possible pick up that money without the full reference number, because now I am out that money with nothing to show for it.

you can put him and Ellen Parker, his accomplish here on the fraud list. Thanks, Jim

After sending money to my wife in Puerto Rico without any problems for a long time.Today I send her again some money and the agent in Puerto Rico would not give her the because the money transfer was missing a second last name. Why now after so many transfers and why Moneygram have me a refund for the money sent but wouldn't the $12.50 transfer fee. To be franc O feel robbed by the big company.

i have been sending money to a relative to nigeria through an agent Gbenga Akindojuromi A, The Agent then gives the money to my relative. I confirm that he receives it so he can get food to eat. Now since you have flagged my request to send my relative has gone 4 days without eating now.

Is that How you would do your own family members, you should be ashamed of your self. I had changed my phone number cause the 903-619-3524 us no longer in use for me and who ever gets that number will get a text saying that the transaction is in progress.

Until I can get the money up to send to my relative for a plane ticket to get home. I wont need your service no more. Will you please let me continue to use moneygram service. I am not commiting fraud in no way.

and I am not being scammed.

My name is James Bagette. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada. I send money sometimes through MoneyGram at Walmart customer service at 3075 East Tropicana Avenue, Las Vegas, Nevada 89121. recently I try to send money to my son in California and my wire transfer was declined by MoneyGram.

I was told by the customer agent at Walmart that I had to call MoneyGram to find out the reason why it was declined. I contacted MoneyGram and talk to an agent who referred me back to the customer service to have them contact them that is MoneyGram so that we can settle the situation as to why it was declined.

To no avail the customer agent did contact MoneyGram but the same situation existed that no one knew why it was declined or no one would give me a reason. I did contact MoneyGram again and talk to an agent…

I sent money to my son who attempted to pick it up. The location he went to was somehow not able to complete his transaction. When he went to a different location the very next morning he was told that money gram cancelled the transfer.

I called money gram and was told that for some policy reason the transaction was cancelled and could not be reissued and my money would not be refunded for possible 10 business days. It should have been immediately refunded to my account. No refund yet. 00.

Money Gram agents are discriminating people. If they think that the person is not the US citizen, they just block the account out of nowhere. Then they say your account was blocked by security issues

Here's my warning MONEY GRAM, a retired USNAVAL INTELLIGENT OFFICER, 30 years. You have 10 days to refund my monies then going to make a few calls to the FCC, FBI, and NSA and ask for an open investigation of fraud by your organization not only here, but outside the USA.

Have personally called a number of the people on this complaint form and they are not happy. Think it's time to clean out your swampland. A lot of complaints, with same unethical actions appearing to show cause with intent to defraud.

I have all the time in the world to follow through along with a few hundred friends in the DOJ, and Homeland Department. Now I'm taking it personally. Ref # R107937342051 claim sent in on 4/21/18, All I've gotten is the runaround on the phone from whatever prison population you're using for…

Have been blocked permanently from using MoneyGram by their so called security system (anti-fraud) and explained my situation to the rep from a call center in India and it was like talking to my dog. At one time I used MoneyGram to 3 different people in South Africa not Nigeria and the person from India told me that I am a victim of a romance scam but those reps have no idea what they are talking about.

It seems that after being fined by the FTC they are using some kind of security system developed by a person with the IQ of a safety pin and the attention span of a paper clip. I read about the problems people encountered right here in America and our government needs to step in and put a stop to all this ASAP

Refunds to a bank account typically take 10 business days, but may take longer due to bank holidays, processing times, and local laws and regulations.

I am very dissatisfy with the services you given me this month. I been trying to used money gram several times, to wire money to Benin. Early of February 2, 2018, your services fail me, to deliver my money where I requested.

Some reasons, my last transaction would be on hold, and my money was return to me. No reasons given. I did call Money Gram customer services, and made my complaint. I was told how offer I used the same money gram location at the CVS department stores that I usually go to.

So, I was told to try another money gram stores, where I went to 57 Street, 8th Avenue, CVS stores there. Only, I used small amount to wire my money, that would total in part $360 and $340 that would total $700.

This does not include your services fee. Still, no luck, with your money gram services. I…

I have been sending money and using moneygram for yrs. I was just told i am nit a candidate to use your services any longer after sending a moneygram to my daughter roommate, because she is currently working on getting her id.

I send a large amount of money and frequently to her because she is not mentally stable enough to manage money and get a job to function in society. I also send money to relatives, my grandkids and now without your services, i am crippled to driving more often to provide money to these people.

I would like an explanation as to why i am denied use of moneygram. I am a registered pharmacist and i work for a major company and have been thoroughly checked out background ways in all ways possible and definitely with the state which licenses me.

I want a contact name at…

This time it took 3 people to do my money gram for me I have gone up there all other times when Glenna was working and no problem she has the attitude it takes to deal with the public. I have thought about moving my meds and everything else to Kroger because I'm tired of getting the attitudes from the workers at your store in Mt.

I don't mean to complain but someone has to speak up that is why i'm doing this.

My brother in law sent me money which this company has put under review he used cash for the transaction and I have a reference number, but was told there isn't any transaction available? I called MoneyGram by phone multiple times and asked to escalate the issue with no luck.

I want my money your holding without a reason given, someone better get on top of this before I call my attorney. What is the best number for the CEO? Maybe he will care that his company is screwing customers over.

My dad lives in Georgia and I live in Arkansas. A few weeks ago he sent money from Walmart through Money Gram, but before I could pick it up the next day he was hospitalized. I was told by the cashier at my local Walmart that I would not be able to pick up my money because the message she got on the system said that "the money must be picked up in the state designated by the sender." I said what do you mean?

She said well there is no state listed here. So I called the Walmart where my dad sent it from and they informed me they couldn't help me either, and they gave me the number to MoneyGram. I have called MoneyGram and they said" It does have a state specified it is listed as Georgia." But it's our policy that we don't allow one to receive money in the same state that is sent from."

So,…

I went into a moneygram outlet. It was my birthday and my friend in England sent me 50 pounds to buy myself a drink. It's my 2nd time using moneygram services and the first experience was bad so I was not happy to be going back there.

I fill out the slip as required, after standing in line for more than half an hour with only 2 other customer in front of me. I was asked my occupation which i supplied. Then i was asked the source of the money, and asked what the money was for.

I was not given the money because my addresses were not matching. I tried explaining to the agent who was very rude but she refused to give me the money. I had to call my friend and asked her to go get back her money.

I have been picking up MoneyGram at Walmart for over five years. Just this last month I've picked up two. Today, I went in as usual to pick up a money gram. They refused to give it to me. My son sent me $180.00 to help with my rent. I'm disabled and in a fixed income. But today, they said my name didn't match my drivers license. It says Judith. Its Judy. And these people all know me. It didn't stop them the last five years, why now when I need this money.

My son just got off a 14 hour shift. He lives in California. He's shut his phone off and I can't contact him. My rent is due today. Now, what is the difference from all the other times. All the information is the same. I have the correct numbers and everything. I've talked to four managers. And every one of them know exactly who I am.…

On May 16,2016, I sent a Money Gram (MG) to a friend of mine in Sebring, Fl. I was notified by my friend that the funds could not be released until I provided additional Information needed from me to proceed with the transaction. I started at 4:00 pm call customer service at MG, and was transferred to the dept. to provide the information. The wait time on the call is 15 mins. or greater due high call volume, an 1:40 mins later still on hold. I call customer service back, they said this the only dept that deals with problems or cancellations.

Still unable to get through, on Wednesday May 18 I wanted to cancel the MG, and have my money returned to me, $3,200 but I'm still unable the get through to the dept. Walmart, located in Littleton, NH is one of MG agents, can't get through, saying MG…

I have been sending money for the last 2 years to family and friends in the Philippines through moneygram. For the the last week though, my transactions cannot get through even when I send money to my daughter whom I send money to every 2 weeks and sometimes every week as the need arises.

Today is Thursday, February 25th, 2016....After more than 3 years of using MoneyGram (MG) to provide monies to my Fiancé in the Philippines we are at the final stages of completing our efforts in getting our K-1 Visa through the US Embassy in Manila. I submitted my initial request to MoneyGram by the process MoneyGram (800 service rep directed me to do at local MG terminal). I did this initial request on Feb 8th 2016.

I followed up several times with MoneyGram customer service by phone and was told it was working.... My Fiancé has her final interview with the Consular Officer at the US Embassy on February 26th at 7:30a and I still do not have a response from MG 14 days later. Every call was filled with excuses and requirements to resend my forms using the same forms - repeatedly. Even the…

It was December 2015 when I send my sister a money to pay my car and bond. I send a money via money gram as I am not SA. Am at US by work. When my sister went to collect money to the FNB bank they blocked her account because they said Netbank register her on fraud.

What I need I want FNB to reverse my money back to money gram as my money still is stuck there on this account since December until now.

I received $1,500 on 9-11-15 but instead got $500 in cash and the rest of $1,000 was paid in MoneyGram. Unfortunately I destroyed the MoneyGram certificate by mistake. I paid 40 dollars for a fee to find out the whereabouts and that it was not cashed or stolen.

Please help me, as MoneyGram will not assist in getting my money back. It seems like the company would be more helpful to their customers. Have tried calling them and emailing my complaints online, still no response.

I was contacted by Abraham Peter from San Antonio, Texas. 210- 807 4078. He reported that I have several dangerous viruses on my computer. He opened my computer and showed me. He cleaned up my computer. He sold me a 3 year Tech Service for $280 payable by Money Gram..

I was to send the money to Abraham Peter in India. It was to be sent "personal" to avoid a $100 service change. When asked why India. He said that was where Microsoft has their billing offices. Fortunately Money Gram would not send the Money Gram.
