      I received a notification from my bank that $357.99 was withdrawn from my account by ******************** US Dallas at 06:20, and another $357.99 was placed in pending status at 06:39. I do not have an account with ******************** and am unsure how this happened. I contacted my bank and took the appropriate steps. The bank representative was very helpful and advised me to report this matter to Moneygram, as they might be able to hold the funds given the recent transactions.I called Moneygram immediately to report the issue. I was on hold for 35 minutes, and the representatives did not even ask for my name. They repeatedly questioned whether I was sure the transaction was from Moneygram, despite my offer to email them the evidence. They refused to escalate the matter to someone who could help. When I asked for an email or incident number for the call, the representative, *****, stated that it wasnt possible. It felt as though they didnt want to help and were possibly complicit in the scam.I am deeply concerned about the unethical business practices of Moneygram and their failure to address concerns of fraud. Their handling of this situation is unacceptable. Thank you for looking into this matter.

      I the sender ******* ****** had made a transfer of $950.00 +$8 fee to ***** on 10/14/2024 at 03:43:01 pm to be deposited to the receiver bank account of ******* **** ( Unibank with account number ******************. After three days the money never deposited. Then, I went back to the place where I've made the transaction (*******) and been told that the money will be deposited on 11/05/2024. Still after that date of 11/05/2024 the money never deposited. I went back to ******* again and complained. The clerk who was at the desk at that time called MoneyGram and there I was told to make a complaint with MoneyGram and they said it will take 90 days to complete their investigation. I had waited until a little more than a month when I received an email stated that the transaction process was completed I didn't have any refunds. The money never got deposited to the receiver bank account. I worked so hard for my money and I was tried to help a family member in need in *****. I don't know where to go for help and I want my money back. Please help thank you in advance

      According to MoneyGrams records, on October 14, 2024,  the sender completed a transfer for ****** USD intended for credit to receivers account in *****. Our records indicate the funds were delivered on the same day. To date, the funds have not been rejected nor refunded to MoneyGram, therefore we are unable to refund the transaction.

      We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that this situation may have caused.

      I am rejecting this response because:   the money was never deposited to the receiver account. If the ********************** was deposited to the receiver account after three days the receiver went to the bank the money was not deposited. I went back to the place where I've made the transaction and they said that I had to wait until November 5 . After that still the money was never deposited  that's when I had made a complaint. Money gram told me it will take 90 days to complete their investigation and the earliest I can receive an answer is within 24 days. By the mean time I was waiting I had to used *** to made 2 others transactions to  Haiti at the same bank account to the receiver and they were very successful.. why the money gram transaction was never received and why I had to wait until November 5th to check the money if it was deposited when it is only take 3 days for sure for the money to be received. I saved all the receipts.

      The receiving bank rejected and returned the transaction, so MoneyGram issued ********* a refund of $953.00 (USD). We emailed him details on how to collect the refund.

      MoneyGram apologizes for the delay and any inconvenience this situation may have caused.

      12/13/2024 at the money center to complete a MoneyGram transaction. Associate asked if I knew the person I am sending to, I said yes he asked who was it, I said my friend, he asked why am I sending, I asked if that was relevant, he said if you don't want to answer take your business elsewhere. My transaction was not completed. I went back today around 2 pm. A different associate tried to complete my transaction but there was a block on my account making it impossible for future transactions. This was malicious and I felt discriminated against. I am now unable to do any money gram transactions that I have been doing for the past 10 years

      I purchased a money order through money-gram, serial number ********* for the amount of ******. ********************** has not delivered. We requested a replacement money order purchased on 12/12/2024 online. We paid the 3 day expedited fee of 45 dollars. Money order was not delivered, requested a replacement. I have not received my money. The total is 155 minus the 45 dollar replacement. I gave them my money upfront, I want my replacement fee back from Money-gram in order to rectify this situation. Despite my follow-up request I received notice of three different days that I did not agree to pay, I have yet to receive the funds as of December 19, 2024.This extended delay is both unreasonable and unacceptable, given that I paid the entire 45 dollars upfront for the service. The failure to deliver these funds or issue a timely replacement constitutes a breach of the terms under which I purchased the Money Order. I request that MoneyGram immediately returns the 175 to resolve this issue. The $45 replacement fee, Ill take applied despite my having no control over the delivery, is unfair and should be refunded in full.Please treat this as a formal demand for immediate action. I trust MoneyGram will take the necessary steps to restore confidence in its service by ensuring this issue is resolved promptly. Failure to do so may necessitate further actions to protect my financial interests.Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

      Dear BBB,I'm writing to express my frustration and disappointment with the service I received from MoneyGram. In March, I sent money to my brother-in-law, but when he went to pick it up a few months later, he was informed that the reference had been canceled.After investigating, I discovered that the bank account I used to send the money had been closed. Despite this, MoneyGram still sent the money. I've called your customer service several times to resolve this issue, and each time, I've had to explain the situation from scratch.The last representative I spoke with promised to provide a new reference number for me to pick up my money. However, I still haven't received it. I'm extremely disappointed in the level of service I've received, and I feel that my money has been unfairly withheld.I urge you to take immediate action to resolve this issue. I work hard for my money, and I expect a higher level of service from a reputable company like MoneyGram.Please return my money as soon as possible. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter.Sincerely,Mrs. Fareedah H

      According to MoneyGrams records,Ms. ********* completed a transfer on March 29, 2024, intended for payout to the receiver, however the transaction was later rejected and returned to MoneyGram. A refund was processed back to the original payment method on October 28, 2024. To date, the funds have not been rejected or returned,therefore further refund is not due.  ************ will need to contact a card specialist at her financial institution for further assistance with the refund as MoneyGram is not in possession of the funds.

      I am rejecting this response because: As mentioned in the complaint my financial institution has been contacted several times and has advised that the issue is not on them or their system. I have personally went to the financial institution to even have Moneygram speak directly to my financial institution. Moneygram refuses. There needs to be a middle ground met. There needs to be a different way for my funds to be refunded. I will accept a check or money order. Moneygram system is not on me or my institution. It has been confirmed countless times.

      On November 17th 2024 I had purchased bitcoin from MoneyGram and then decided I did not want so sold it back in the amount of $184.18. For some reason it stayed in the processing mode. After a few days I asked them about getting that refunded and they finally sent me a form to fill out. I filled the form out and sent it back. I had made a small mistake on the form but it could still be read. They have since told me twice the funds would NOT be sent since they could NOT read the form. They will not give me the option of sending another form to receive my funds. They are withholding my funds for no reason. I am including all correspondence. This is not even right and I dont understand how a business can legally do this. Please I need to know where to turn for help if you cant help. Thank you.

      I am rejecting this response because:   the agent at the location of pick up did not get proper ID and knew the guy and allowed them to fraud multiple people ******* Ontario Canada police also have the report and the suspect individual and agent did not follow there rules and if they are picking up money there personal information is needed and should have to be given in order to pickup money , name address dl number phone number and all like it is needed to send money . They should not be allowed to continuously not be held accountable for allowing fraud of any kind. Which they are just as responsible as the scammers . They sent it they need to be accountable for employees and or agents that commit the fraud to with our getting proper identification. And entertaining in the system. So that fraud could be stopped.

However, we must inform that as part of MoneyGrams policy we are unable to issue refunds for transfers once they have been completed, even in cases where the transaction may have been fraudulently induced.
