Moneygram blocks my transaction

Try lowering the amount. You should try to keep it around $750. Seeing as the book picks up the fee, you can just send more often but those amounts over $1000 really stick out. I don't recommend sending it under a different name because if it gets flagged, you may not be able to get it back.

If they ask what it's for, tell them it's for the the fellowship foundation for whatever country you're sending it to. That worked for me for quite some time until their compliance department caught on. It seems I had sent to 43 different fellowships in 5 different countries and they said that looked suspicious. They wanted me to fill out some paperwork and they would look it over and either approve or disapprove it. I said no thanks so they banned me. No big deal. I've found much better deposit methods.

The only thing I miss about Moneygram and Western Union is the skanks that work in those check cashing places. I used to send some pretty high figures years ago until things tightened up. Some of the money was mine but I was running bets and managing accounts for some pretty big players. These chicks thought I had a lot of money so I was able to take quite a few of the them out. They figured they might get a taste of some of the money. Some of them got a taste but it wasn't of the money. It was a taste of the throat yogurt.
