    Banned from moneygram today for making several with drawls and deposits to different people in Latin countries. Thought this would happen eventually. They held my deposit and I had to call and they transferred me to another person who started asking a bunch of questions about the receiver information such as how I knew them, who they were, how long I knew them, and even how old they were. I just told them to cancel my deposit and the lady said they did not like my answers, I told them it was a relative, and my activity. They then gave me a new reference number to pick up the money I tried to deposit, and then told me I was no longer able to use moneygram. This is just such bullshit to have to jump through these hoops to do something that hurts nobody. Fuck the government and fuck moneygram.

    No, all local Wal Mart transactions. In hindsight I know I should have switched it up, but this was close and easy, and I never caught crap until today, even for larger amounts. The cashier was hesitant to take it in the first place, which I knew something was flagged on her computer, and after some time when it hadn't cleared and I had to call moneygram I knew something was up.

    Yeah last year they flagged me. Change phone number and if you have a middle name on your license use it. There should be no problem sending and receiving.

    you can change that. Moneygram never looks at my license for deposits, and on withdraws they will look, but you say you moved. simple as that!

    Well only thing I am concerned about is they have looked at my license on every withdrawl and a few deposits so the license number will be the same, and I am sure that is what they flag. My address on the license is not even the same as the one I always put on the form.

    Not sure, but from what I found on their website around $3000 can trigger it, but I the operator mentioned the multiple countries specifically.

    I've been making a few deposits over the last weeks via MG into 5Dimes and they have flagged 3 of the 5 deposits I've made.  They make me call the 1800 number and ask how I know these people I'm sending money to in nicaragua or the philippines.  I have told them the same answer every time and they believe me..."I'm sending money to somone working for a missionary cause associated with my church"  They usually ask if I've met the person and I tell them "no never met the receiver personally, however the person in charge of our missionary there is someone I know."  Once time the MG person was sly, he asked the name and address of my church...i didn't hesitate and told him and he OK'd the transaction.  It really is rather annoying we are giving this company good business and they question it.

    2 years ago they banned me forever. I tried to use my middle name and just changed phone service so had a different number, and used a different address. No more than 10 minutes after I thought the transaction was done I received a call from them and they asked me several questions which I thought I answered well and they told me my business is still no longer welcome. They did send the money back to me in a MG.

    Wow I can't believg this, I thought I was MoneyGram royalty for all the money I sent thru them the last 3-4 years.  Has to be 200 names on my file and never questioned.  Proably because they feel sorry for this fool.  I see the signs to quit gambling, have for ten years but I do it day in and day out and keep chasing my tail. try being up 2200 on Sunday and down to two late ball games tonite for a buck each to lose it all.  I am happy to read this post, so I quit gambling, no more credit card options and I should just tell MG it is for gambling purposes so they ban me!  sick habit.

    I am actually banned from WU so MG is my only option now.  A few years ago I made numerous deposits via WU and they flagged me one time.  I gave them BS answers to their questions and they didn't like my answers and banned me.  I tried a few years later to use them again once I moved and had a different address and they still had me on their black list.
