MoneyGram/Western Union and tor

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

[IceWizard]

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 ..

Compare on-line to in person... First off, like mentioned before, I use my real info cause I did have to retrieve a pmt once and if I had used bogus info, it would have been lost ...

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 ...

No doubt, money transfers are easier and much more cheaply done at a store. You get hit by fees from all angles using online. Seems counterintuitive in today's tech climate.

With MG online you dont. The fees are very good

Yes you can send different currency with MG.

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.

[germanshepherd]

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.

[G.Elias]

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.

Geez, that's an unfair amount of $$$...probably penalizing you colonizers...LOL

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
