      If I could give negative star ratings I would. This was my first time to use them, and the last. I WILL NEVER USE MONEYGRAM AGAIN!! In a state of emergency, I needed to transfer funds to myself and used moneygram to send funds from my overseas acct to my US acct. I received a receipt and confirmation of the completed transaction and left it at that. Fast forward to 3 months later, I return from overseas to find out that my US bank account was overdrawn, had overdraft fees, and closed out. So confused, I traced my insufficient balance back to moneygram. They did a great job at withdrawing my money, but did a terrible job at delivering it. YOU LITERALLY HAD ONE JOB! What's so frustrating is that after realizing this, I called moneygram to ask about my transaction, concerned I had gotten scammed only to be received by the most unconcerned, unprofessional escalations **** The convo was not only distasteful, she lacked empathy, had no resolutions, and the lamest of excuses. Turns out moneygram decided to hold my money as they were concerned for fraud, and were waiting for me to take notice and call in to release the funds. Only issue I had was, why didn't they try to contact me to *** they were holding my funds? *** said "Its been 3 months, and you did not notice money was missing?" Had I had a million dollars, or my last ***** in my acct...IF YOU HAVE A JOB, DO IT!! Moneygram, thank the poor system you have in place, and even worse escalations team for the downfall of your business. IF YOU CONFIRM THAT YOU HAVE COMPLETED A SERVICE, AND THEN CHANGE YOUR COURSE OF ACTION YOU SHOULD NOTIFY THE CLIENT ASAP!! INSTEAD, YOU HOLD OUR MONEY, WAIT FOR US TO NOTICE AND RAISE CONCERN, BEFORE RETURNING IT. THIS IS AN ALARMING, FAILED ATTEMPT OF THEFT!! BEWARE, MONEYGRAM IS A FRAUDULENT BUSINESS, THAT LACKS ACCOUNTABILITY AND INTEGRITY!! YOU WILL BE SCAMMED, PLEASE TAKE HEED AND GO ELSE WHERE!!! Can you imagine all the money they steals from their clients?!

      If you are in **, pls be aware NOT to use MONEYGRAM!They gather all your info in **, incl. B/D, n.a.m.e,the recipient info. outside the **, and they without any explanation/OR referring to the law clause, disable your a.c.c. without any explanation given to the US clients. Their customer support is located in ****/PH, spent 1 hour talking uselessly with CS not giving me any explanation of why my a.c.c. is disabled, after you share all your sensitive info w. them. They refer you to go and pay cash(! ) in their MG locations physically.what they wrote me , standard write off:customerservice 2:49AM "Thank you for contacting us.

      Very poor. I sent my son a moneygram for his birthday in *********. Unfortunately I did not retain the receipt with the transaction number. I have been unsuccessful in obtaining a number from either the Agent nor the Moneygram organization. In other words I am out the money and it is sitting in no man land since March 3rd.I am disgusted with Moneygram and their lack of service. Do NOT use this method of transferring money to anyone!!******** *********

      I've used this company before to send money to people around the world and it worked out fine. So I tried again and went through the entire process of entering all my information and the receivers information and my bank information. When I click the send button, it tells me my profile is DISABLED! What??? After digging I find I have to prove I am who I say I am and I have to provide my personal information to some third party (if I had know this I would have passed at the beginning). Huh? I need to prove that to my bank, but not MoneyGram. So, I think I'll just delete all my information and move on. No, can't do it. I can't login until I upload my ID. I chat with someone and request that my account and information be deleted. This morning I got an email saying that's too bad. They are required to keep my information so my request was denied.They purposely don't say I need to provide ID to a third party until I've already set everything up and tried to send money. Then they lock me out and say my banking information is theirs to control and I have no say in it.I went to ************* and sent the money no problem. This is the LAST time I consider doing business with this company.

      This company charges exorbitant fees of 4% for 1000$ transfer from *******, a poor third world country and places hurdles for recipients to collect money - like exact complete legal name of sender (often not known with absolute certainty by receiver. Money sent to someone should require receivers valid credentials/verification regardless of who she/he is getting the money from. Thats it. We have started a business and thought theyd be an easy option to receive collect money sent at different locations.Furthermore they dont make it clear through their website that they have collection limits at different locations (I.e.: $500 at &CVS pharmacies. ***** them

      Before blocking my former account, I think one of the person's I sent money to, I think sent money to me later on. But, I did not collect this person's money soon. So, I was sent this money not via this business...Then, I think I sent money to this same person. But, I think this transaction was canceled.Why I can't use my former account?....This entity will not unblock my former account. I was the one sending money mostly...
