International money transfer Other transaction issues California

On Thursday -/-/16 I attempted to sent $200.00 to my Fiancee in - on line by MoneyGram. I received an email saying that I should call MoneyGram to complete my transfer. I call an spoke with a lady who asked me many personal questions about myself including questions about my fiancee. I was told the reason why I had to call was because it was my first time sending money on line. I told her that was wrong it is my second time because I went through the same thing the first time. After answering all of the questions asked I received an email at - - saying : Your transfer has been sent. Give your receiver the reference # : - and she will need the reference # and their Photo ID to pick up money. At - - I received and email from MoneyGram saying : Your transaction has been canceled and will no longer be processed and if I have questions to call them. I called them and the response was Money was not comfortable sending the money to your fiancee. What does that mean?. For the record I send the money from my bank account using my debit card. Why do I have to wait for - to 10 days when the money was immediately debited from my bank account? What happens to my personal information that the employee of MoneyGram who was in another country asked me? What is the real reason for the cancellation?
