Using MoneyGram

[JG1]

How safe is it to send $1k overseas using MG? Never had to use MG before, and I don't want this to come back and bite me in the ass later.

haven't sent that much but I know $600 or so is okay at a time. You can use fake info (recommended) I even had one occurance where there was a typo (entered in the computer wrong) and had to call up and get it corrected. All you need to do is know the name you put on the sheet and the ref # and you are good to go. I do know there is a limit though as to how much you can pick up without an ID

It is safe. I recommend using real information. If you ever have to change your transfer for any reason, they make you call from the number on the sheet.

I use real info & have sent as much as $650 & have never had a prob. It's just as safe as Western Union but, much cheaper.

By the way, the call-back was with Western Union when I switched names to another receiver. My friend and I have sent well over $1000 with MG, used real info., showed correct ID and had no problems.

what % does money gram take. i know WU took like %15 international. i was pissed

 

[supertech69]

My last order was $300 & it cost me $24 to send it (domestic) It's not really a % though I think they have a min charge for a range of $ amount & it varies by geographical location. Let's just put it this way, it's well worth the money you save by not paying gym prices.

i sent $900 international and it cost $50 to send it with western union!

With Money Gram proper ID will be needed for any amount over $900.00 for the person to pick up those funds. Money gram fees are about 1/2 of WU.

I collect some amounts that far exceed many $K in a single order......the sender pays his associate who has absoultley nothing to do with anything within the iron game to execute the transfer....an a amount is also payed on my end for somebody to make the pick....this works great and keeps everybody safe.
