RE: MoneyGram/Western Union and tor - Sunglassesron - 05-09-2017
Does anyone know if you can send a different currency by MG to the one of that country? Im told you can but its never been possible for me to do before
RE: MoneyGram/Western Union and tor - IceWizard - 05-09-2017
I do not know about MG ( never used them ) but I do know that WU does...
I'm sure someone will have the answer for you ..

You get hit by fees from all angles using online. Seems counterintuitive in today's tech climate.
Also on-line, they were hitting me up for appox 3 times what I pay in-person at the store ....
All in all, it's what YOU feel comfortable for YOU...
If the vendor actually requests that you NOT use the on-line way, they surely have a reason, so maybe they can tell if you did or not ...
I do not know that for a fact however ...

i Think's because they need to pay their telephone bill.
They'r calling almost everyone that pays online (with wu at least).
in my country (for the time being) the fee's the same.
RE: MoneyGram/Western Union and tor - germanshepherd - 05-10-2017
Further to that, some credit cards will add their own cash advance fee to WU and MG's fees, so there's another layer of charges lurking.
RE: MoneyGram/Western Union and tor - G.Elias - 05-10-2017
Certain countries that you send to can also add further fees than normal,last time i used an email vendor who's name begins with D the woman at PO where i was sending using MG said the fee was double the cost than most other countries,maybe because i was sending from an EU country to a non EU country,was somewhere around £20 fee on top of funds being sent.

I was using MG all the time with no problems. Now all of a sudden they want to freeze my transaction and have me call a special telephone number to continue my transaction. A person claiming to be a supervisor ask a whole bunch of dumb ass questions. Who are you sending money to? Are you related to this person? What are the funds for? It's so stupid. None of your business is the real answer to all of their questions. I use WU now and no problems so far. It's hard for me to get to a store w/ MG & WU so I have to go online. I'm clueless about Bitcoins. I guess it's time for me to learn about & get familiar with Bitcoins.
I am new to MG and WU but this was my exact experience with MG. A few transactions worked fine, but then suddenly with 10 questions, then raised to a supervisor who wants to know how good of friends we are and if they are the god child of one of my grandchildren so I an trust them
