International money transfer Money was not available when promised

MoneyGram Money transfers department,

International money transfer Money was not available when promised New Mexico

I sent money to - via MoneyGram at - online. Got the confirmation and reference numbers. At - she was denied the money at the location. The bank branch said the confirmation number was no good and that MoneyGram was not in the system. She went 3 times after I had called 3 times and still no money to be picked up. I kept talking to reps who were unfamiliar with the English language. Every rep I spoke with had no solution. Finally I resent money via another carrier and she got the money. I decided to cancel my transaction online and I also decide to call again. I told the rep that I am calling to report fraud. He thought the fraud was by the receiver of the funds. I said no, your company and he was silent. While talking to him I was reading emails and I got one from Moneygram confirming my cancellation. I told him never mind I just received an authorization. He said I did n't because its not in his system. He later confirmed my request and verified it. I told I have been reading about MoneyGram and their FTC fine and - compalints about fraud within their company. People are not getting their money back within 3-10 days for various reasons. I ask him why does Moneygran take my money immediately but ca n't return it immediately? I asked him where is the money. He blamed it on the bank in -, -. He also let slip from his mouth that he said I or the bank had a different confirmation number. The bank never got a confirmation number according to the bank but he said the number was incorrect! Since they were fined for fraud within the company this brings to you, this panel. Now I fear if I wait this out 3-10 days it will just get worse. Without help ....
