Formal Complaint Regarding a Cancelled Money Transfer and Unreturned Funds
On April 2, 2026, I sent money through the MoneyGram application, following all the instructions provided by the app. After completing the payment for the full amount of the transfer, I received an authorization number. However, I never received the transaction reference number required for my sister to collect the money abroad, even though the funds were intended to cover her medical treatment.
As I had not received the necessary reference number, I contacted MoneyGram’s customer service. I was advised by the call center to cancel the transfer and wait approximately ten days for the money to be refunded.
Unfortunately, despite following these instructions, I have never received my money back.
I subsequently submitted a formal complaint by email and made several attempts to contact MoneyGram regarding this matter, but without receiving any satisfactory response. I also spoke with a customer service representative who confirmed that the transfer had been cancelled. She then advised me to contact my bank in order to trace the transaction and determine where the funds had been transferred.
My bank subsequently confirmed that the money had been transferred to an account in Spain. I provided MoneyGram’s customer service department with all the relevant information and evidence supplied by my bank. Despite this, I have received no further response, explanation, refund, email, or other communication from MoneyGram.
I find this situation extremely serious and unacceptable. The money was sent for an urgent medical purpose, and I have been deprived of both the funds and any clear explanation regarding their whereabouts.
After numerous attempts to resolve this matter directly with MoneyGram and after providing all the requested information, I have still not received my money or a satisfactory explanation.
I therefore intend to file a formal complaint with the Belgian police and, if necessary, with the relevant competent authorities in order to determine what happened to my funds and to seek appropriate legal remedies.
I also believe that other consumers should be made aware of my experience so that they can exercise caution when using MoneyGram’s services.
I request that MoneyGram urgently investigate this matter, provide me with a complete explanation concerning the transfer of my funds, and return the full amount owed to me without further delay.
I remain available to provide all supporting documents, including proof of payment, the authorization number, correspondence with MoneyGram, my bank’s confirmation regarding the transfer to Spain, and any other relevant evidence.
I expect a formal written response and a resolution of this matter as soon as poss
