I've been banned for MO for sometime, but still able to do billpay. I realized with billpay that they really aren't checking ID or SS#, etc, when under $3K. So, yesterday, I paid a bill for 4K using Simon Says, and gave my ID and SS#. Went through with no issues.....

So give another point to the ban coming from Money Gram, but who really knows......
I'm pretty sure the ban is from MG. In addition to other experiences, I have a bill that has to be paid through MG which I cannot pay off the WM app, but I can pay over the counter if I don't give them ID. (It's a relatively small bill, unrelated to MS.)
