Money Gram Problem

Postby jake33 on Sat Mar 08, 2008 2:06 pm

Hello all. Last week I deposited money into an online poker site using money gram. When I use this method, I go to a location, they call money gram and do the transaction over the phone. So this last time, the person on the other end of the phone (at money gram) was asking all these personal questions such as my social #, my job occupation, and for my license id #, etc... I was annoyed but the person at money gram said because of the amount I was sending, he was required to ask these questions. But I thought to myself, "I always send this much and never get asked anything." Well when I looked in my poker account last week, there was A LOT more than I requested. So obviously money gram made a mistake. Now I'm worried here and have still not used the "extra" money. Am I in the clear here? My friends say yes I am but I don't think so. Exactly how does money gram work? I would think that the money has to come from somewhere so the location is probably gonna get charged by money gram and so when this location sees that charge, they are immediately gonna know its me and I will be in trouble. Is this true? Has this happened to anyone before? Should I just keep the extra money? Please any thoughts would help here! Thank you.
