MoneyGram Money transfers department,

Domestic (US) money transfer Money was not available when promised Louisiana

I been having issues when using MoneyGram. When the money is transferred it is never available to the receiver, even after getting a confirmation transfer reference number. I sent money to this person several times before and have not been so upset with the agent service that MoneyGram provides. These people are not aware why and rude. I sent a transfer on -/-/2016 at a Walmart site and it was a10 minute request and was told that the person can get the money with the reference number and their ID. What a surprise they called and said it was not available. I was told " under review '' by the MoneyGram agent then transfer to someone who could not speak English well. So I asked him to slow down, then he hung up on me, very RUDE. The agent at the Walmart site when the receiver was also experience the same issue with the MoneyGram reps since I asked my friend. He indicated that the Walmart agent was not please, it took over 30 minutes, which is horrible service. Therefore I sent an feedback for someone to contact me within the US. However, they had a person not in the US called. She could not explain why the money was not available and then had the nerve to said " because the person name was similar to someone else ''. This I find to be a false since I sent money to the person several times and never had this issue. This type of information can be consider damaging to my character and the receiver. Therefore, I need corporate with the US to contact me on this matter!!!
