The last three times I have tried sending "donation" both Wu, and Money G gave me shit, and would not complete the transaction. Is it the fact that I am using my name( I order a few times a year), or is the person's name I am sending it to burned up? It has been both international, and domestic.

Are you doing it online or at a storefront?

Could be either one. I highly recommend switching to bitcoin. Easier and safer.
MG and WU have been cracking down on sending/receiving money from certain places. If you regularly send money to a place like China, for paying a source for example they'll flag you.
Even using a fake ID is getting harder now as well.

It could be any one, or all of the above. It's hard to say without more info (including info you wouldn't even know).
Do you always go to the same store(s) to send? Is it always the same receiver info? Do you pay in foul smelling $2 bills?

WU and moneygram are shooting themselves in the foot by declining all these transactions and I personally don't even consider them as options anymore. As it's been said already, time to learn bitcoin. It's easier and it's faster for you and for the other party

I bring in my money in a spare coin jar that has a label on it that reads "Steroid Money". I then ask the lady if she can send this money to Frank at Pharmacom with my order list.
If only there were a censorship-proof crypto-currency.
It's not only whether or not the transaction goes through, but the people at WalMart give you an attitude about it. I was asked several questions like "are you sure you know this person". It's just obnoxious and annoying.
Overall, I think the WU/MG days are coming to an end. They obviously have concluded that no one in the USA has legitimate friends or family in the Ukraine or Maldova Republic

Don't be so sure MG and WU will go down without a fight. You have to remember that the people processing your MG and WU transactions do not work for said wire transfer companies. They simply process them, and they look at you and me as a hindrance - someone that is bothering them from getting their other job functions done.
My gut feeling is that the harassing questions that these folks are asking is what they were supposed to be doing all along, only NOW they are catching heat for not doing it all along, so they are amping it up to appease their employers and stay out of trouble with their bosses. I mean, really, why does the 71 year old lady, or the 18 year old kid processing these, REALLY care how legit you are, as long as THEY don't catch heat for it?!

Also, I am not sure geographically where everyone in this thread is located, but in cities like Chicago and NYC and Miami and Los Angeles the percentage of the population that has legitimate friends/relatives in foreign countries is quite significant.
Chances are you are not the problem.
If I was Chinese and I was sending money western union to China do you think I would get shit from the clerk? Lol. Last time I was at Western union the clerk asked me if I knew who I was sending money to and the clerk was an acquaintance of mine.

Always sending money western union to China and no problems so far, seems I'm lucky enough.
The biggest issue is the fact that the recipient has had about twenty people have sent that "name money". I understand. I like sending cash in the $19.99 priority envolope. I have used that method several times. Some guys say "I would never do that" What's the difference? If the person was going to scam you no are no better off WU/Money gram. Also I like the anominity doing it that way. There has to be something slick we can come up with with gift cards, or something . I know you can buy pay pal cards now, but I do not know the ins and outs of pay pal. With money gram if you are insistent with them ,and they say you know this person has been getting money from all over the country you just say yes I want to proceed it sucks, but overall it's getting burned up.

After 12 years using WU for these such transactions, I was banned a few months ago. I called WU and they sent me some crazy form I had to fill out. They wanted bank account info, lists of who I sent money to and their phone numbers and how I know them, etc. Overall I get the feeling WU and MG are just going to get worse. I figure it's only a matter of time before I'm kicked off MG, I only hope my guy will start taking BTC by then

It's fairly obvious that WU and moneygram are being pressured by government agencies to play ball. This is probably putting stress on them to comply and they need to prove they aren't letting just anyone send $. I don't think aas are what LE has in mind or they probably would care so much but terroristic activity is something they investigate thoroughly. After everything that's been happening with WU and MG banning everyone, it should be clear these are no longer safe options to use. We need to get smarter ways of sending $. Even bitcoin will eventually start having problems. But for now, it's the only SAFER option
