I sent $80.00 to my son. I 'm in Virginia and he is - in Colorado. I sent this money at - - and he attempted to pick it up at -, unfortuately, they said the money was not there. I have the receipt and reference number and called moneygram directly. so far I have been transfered twice and questioned as of why I sent money and who and purpose, all have been answered. Now I 'm on hold for 20 minutes while my son waits at the counter for resolution. I paid for their services that stated 10 minutes to transfer yet to be received by my son. I 'm still on the phone with MoneyGram, I have been transferred to - levels and the time is now -. I have someone who states they are going to release the money but keeps putting me on additional holds.They claim the money was released however, when I questioned what was the problem they only apologized and I asked again and they put me on hold music. I do know one certain, I will never do business with them again!
