Today I tried making an order with a different vendor in the middle east but located in a different city and once again the transfer was declined. I'm starting to wonder if it's me and my WU account which has been flagged. Tomorrow I'll try a WU transfer to an Asian country and see whether they decline that also. If they do then I'll have to resign to the fact that WU doesn't like me and assumes I'm a raging terrorist.
Can you try MG? Wu never has approved anything for me, but no issues with MG at all. Just a suggestion!!

That would be terrible, breacher. Â Good luck. Â Let us know when You are okay.

Fyi MG does have online service. I use it all the time. They did randomly change my daily limit to $400 (with fees included). Kinda sux bc I used to send a lot more @ a time.
Give it a try!

Damn I keep getting unable to identify my identity, so the transactions are not going through, this is really odd. Going in person will let all no whats up when I can
RE: MoneyGram/Western Union and tor - Back2Good - 03-30-2016
Will be visiting WU myself tomorrow (in person at the grocery store) to send funds to a pretty hot area, I'll let you know if I have any trouble, Breacher.
Best,

Well Breacher, you're not alone. I got the exact same response you did yesterday - PM if me if you'd like and I'll let you know where I was trying to send the money, probably the same place you were trying. If that's the case, one of our vendors is going to have a lot of problems using WU...I sent one to a different location yesterday afternoon, and it went through with no problem - So I'm not flagged, apparently the receiver is not flagged (WU will tell you if that's the case) - Has to be the location.
Best,

I recently did an online MG for the first time. It was rejected and I was told to call their phone line. So I did and they wanted my life story, no joke. They do a mini credit check asking questions about my car, even my Dad's name, cities I have lived in, all kinds of credit type questions.
When it came time to talk about the transfer I had to answer just a couple of questions. Easy ones like, do you know them, what is it for. Answer yes and it's my contribution for a gift.
In short I was on the phone about 20 minutes and about 80% of the time talking about myself. This leads me to believe they were more interested in verifying my identity than the money transfer. So anyone who does this, just be ready to disclose some personal info. However, most of the info is public record kind of stuff.

They could be suspicious or just dotting their i's or crossing their t's. I am sure they also have some type(s) of regulatory oversight. With anti money laundering laws & such (unless you are a 1%) they could be covering their rear ends. I'm positive billionaires don't hide their cash thru wu transfers.

They sent me an attached questionnaire document to fill in and send back to them. They basically want to know the details about the people I've tried to make transfers to recently. Such as how do I know them, how long have I known them, why I'm sending them money and where the money I'm sending's coming from.
I guess that based on my answers they'll make a decision whether to continue declining my transfers or start letting them through again.
It's a bit nosy of them aye?
is calling an option as I have found their phone agents to be rather reasonable? My experience was they seemed more concerned with my identity. If they ask about your receivers and if they are all over the place, just tell them you have travelled a lot and send gifts to help your friends families as a form of charity. Also, I have said I am sending money to various relatives of my House keeper, gardener, handyman, etc. Another one that popped up as it was an unusual destination, I just said it was a contribution to a big wedding gift. All of those were accepted and fine answers.
you seem smart enough to have made it this far, I have no doubt you can sail through this. Just remember which stories you told on which receiver.
Good Luck

Both gave me a hard time sending online... sending in person works better without all the personal questions.. but I dunno what makes the difference on why they question some of us and don't others..
