Is it true that MoneyGram, when sending to 9611 (ZipZap), will attempt to match their database of valid name/address combinations to what you entered on the form? Maybe not the first time that name/address is used, but for all future times (on 2nd attempt)?

The past two transactions are different. When entering the info into the dialpad of the red moneygram phone, as soon as you punch in 9611 for zipzap, the automated system transfers you to a human. In the past, this wasn't the case. The human requires a name, address, and phone number. They will not continue the transaction without this info. The name/address must match their database of valid name/address combinations. I've tried to give a post office box in the style of an apartment or office suite (like 123 main street #4839), and they say "that is a po box, we need a real address sir".  I bought a pre-paid phone with cash and use a friend's work address with permission.

I'm sorry but I'm not fully aware of Moneygram and ZipZap's internal systems or procedures.  Your best bet would be to ask them regarding these situations.
