Evidence Added

User report from Syria confirms MoneyGram is blocked again. A community member submitted evidence showing the service is inaccessible from a Syrian IP address. The service was previously marked as accessible/unblocked but appears to have regressed.

Note

A user in Syria reported that the MoneyGram website is fully blocked and inaccessible. This conflicts with the current "accessible" status and may indicate a regression. Requires further investigation.

Note

MoneyGram seems to be available now in Syria. Their website shows that National Islamic Bank as a pickup place. We were told that a user was able to send a money transfer. However, it seems they have currently a technical issue in some countries.
