Title: BEWARE: no response from exchanger Borneo
Post by: floorboards on September 09, 2011, 02:46 am
BEWARE: i sent Borneo (BTC exchanger) a large sum of money and now have lost all communications with them for 24+ hours. they had promised an exchange. Yes, it's only been a day but that's a long time especially if they claim to check their mail 4 times a day.

if anyone has done business with them in the past day, please let me know. not very happy right now.

BORNEO, where are you?

Never ever use exchanger from SR.

I've used Borneo and everything worked out perfectly. From what I understand from a different thread, floorboard's money didn't get taken off the MoneyPak.

i would check to see if the money is still available. Borneo has been very trustworthy and he did say that he was closing shop for about a week. I highly doubt he took your money if he couldn't provide btc..

Update: After another very nervous 12-hrs or so, I got the "we are re-organizing note" and my moneypak was not touched. But to be on the safe side, I cashed out my moneypak number.  So major props for Borneo for not running away with the dough, but sad that there was no communication for so long. As said on another thread, I hope they come back strong and I wish them luck.

@Leech - why not use an exchanger on SR?

thanks

Borneo runs an "A class" business.  Sent my moneypak, within 12 hours later had my money.  *before they went on break to reorganize.

I was concerned about my money being ran off with, I was comfortable and still am using Borneo.
