Pretty crazy update to this.
After waiting a day and a half i calledup moneygram and asked them what was up. ACR told me it got rejected and when i tried to track a transfer it said cancelled on it.
I talked to someone on the phone in moneygram and they told me that the money is being held pending my answers to the questions they had for me.I asked them what this was all about and that it was my first time ever having this problem and they told me "recently there have been lots of scams in Nicaragua and we need to get some info from you to proceed with this transaction" said "ok what do you need to know" I gave them all my personal info which is fine, but then i got really caught offguard. I was asked alll these questions one after another"Why are you sending money to Rita xxx in Nicaragua?" "how long did you know Rita?" "did you meet her in person"? " whats Rita do for a living?" "are you planing to send anymore money to Rita?"how old is Rita?" So yeah, i obviously have ZERO clue to any of these questions because i just simply trust ACR and send to whoever they tell me. I never had this issue before.
So i basically lied to moneygram and made up a story how i knew Rita and all that. I mae it real convincing and i was put on hold, then put on hold again. They came back and told me"Sir, to be frank with you, there have been many scams in Ncaragua and this Rita person is connected with previous scams, we cannot let you send money to this person they are not to be trusted" "dont worry though we will issue you a full refund" So they gave me a new reference number and told me to go back to the store and i got a full refund.
After i got my refund and was home i went to go try to get another name to send to, and i got another name from Nicaragua and i decided not to do it. I have no way of knowing"if that name is bad" Im so angry with ACR, it hurts my reputation with moneygram if im sending money to fraud people over and over. I cant just send randomly to these people ACR tells me too and hope it goes thru especially after the moneygram people told me that Nicaragua has been real shady lately.
So after spending over 2 hrs on the phone with ACR/support and moneygram i have no money on acr and lost gas money.... and no idea if ill ever be able to trust moneygram with acr again. Of course Support acted like it was all no big deal and like t was my fault etc and im crazy
