Some on this list may recognize my name, others that do not can google
me and see that I have been active in this community for the last four
years.
This is no scam. I can personally vouch for Gerald.
We worked for the same company that has offices here in the DC area as
well as all over Africa.
We met when he placed an order for several thousand dollars in Digium
equipment and I "smelled a scam" and told him that I could not fill that
order. Then I got the exact same order from a Germantown MD based
business. Still unsure, I hand delivered the equipment just to make
sure things were on the up and up.
They were, and I actually took a position with this company and spent
many months in Africa and even setup a call center for the US Embassy in
Senegal.
I have known him for almost three years and he has done some excellent
custom development for me.
Uganda and other African nations are de-regulating the telecom industry
and making VoIP legal. While I see huge potential in such investments,
I also see huge risks since corruption is rampant in these governments
and some are very unstable.
Read his post again, he said "PREPAID". Not much room for a scam there
unless you allow destinations that you should not, like NuFone did.
Thanks,
Steve Totaro
