Money transfer paradox...
Kind of an absurd situation.
A week ago, I sent a small amount of cash to some guy living in the far east.
Lazy that I am, I did it online. It's a small transfer after all. Turns out it gets suspended.
Phoned the customer service, everything is okay: although the transfer shows on hold, the bucks are ready for pickup in the country of destination, provided the receiver exhibits a valid ID.
Receiver then tells me he can't pick up the cash.
What I do suspect, he doesn't really have a valid ID. Either that or the most widely used money transfer service in the world is bullying me.
I might as well try to have the transfer cancelled, not sure if possible though.
Did this happen to anyone here? Should I consider the monies lost?
