JerryC you are treading on thin ice. NuFone is dead - Deal with it like an adult, not a 2 year old. if you are a legitimate creditor, then you will be notified in due time.

--

UPDATE June 2, 2009 - Main web page (www.nufone.net) now goes to a generic go-daddy advertisement. Looks like he couldn't even keep up his $5/month web page. There is no question that this "company" is gone, nor is there any question that their entire history is that of non-support and customer rip offs.



UPDATE APR 30 2009 - Nufone servers are no longer responding. Nufone appears to be done.



UPDATE APR 05 2009 - Nufone just closed the ticket that their toll free DIDs are down, this is despite the fact that their own support number still isn't working. Also got a low balance warning from them because they debited my account $7.99 each for two toll free DIDs which I gave up over a month ago (aren't listed in my account now), but since their DIDs aren't working anyway they charged me for a service they couldn't deliver. I smell a death spiral...

UPDATE FEB 24 2009 - 877-420-8647 (nufone support number) is down. All DID's appear to be down. I've made multiple support tickets, sent e-mails and tried multiple times to reach these people. No response. Argh.



UPDATE FEB 11 2009 - AVOID AT ALL COSTS. NUFONE INBOUND TOLL FREES STILL DOWN ALONG WITH THEIR MAIN CUSTOMER SERVICE PHONE NUMBER — GOING ON ONE MONTH NOW. FURTHER, NUFONE SUPPORT NOT CO-OPERATING TO FACILITATE PORTING OF PHONE NUMBERS TO OTHER CARRIERS.

DON'T BELIEVE IT? JUST TRY CALLING THEIR CUSTOMER SUPPORT TOLL FREE BEFORE SETTING UP AN ACCOUNT. UNLESS YOU LIKE THE SOUND OF DEAD AIR DON'T GIVE NUFONE YOUR MONEY.



UPDATE JAN 26 2009 - NUFONE MAY BE DONE. THERE'S STILL NO INBOUND TOLL FREES AND NUFONE CUSTOMER SUPPORT VIA CUSTOMER WEB PORTAL IS NON-RESPONSIVE. NUFONE CUSTOMER SUPPORT TOLL FREE 877-420-8647 STILL DOWN SINCE JAN 13 2009.



UPDATE JAN 19 2009 - NOTE THAT NUFONE INBOUND IS DOWN BUT OUTBOUND APPEARS OKAY. INBOUND TOLL FREES ARE FAILING SINCE THEIR JAN 13 2009 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT AND NUFONE MAIN CUSTOMER SUPPORT TOLL FREE 877-420-8647 ALSO DOWN SINCE ABOUT THAT TIME.

333Mommy kicked him out

Looks like his mom finally kicked Jeremy out of her basement.

Wonder how long before he's up and scamming people again.

333Customer toll free down 877-420-8647

by cmaj, Monday 19 of January, 2009 [19:23:04 UTC]
It looks like they may have folded up inbound toll free service. You can't blame it on the users when your own number is down.

Some thoughts:

Jeremy: I think our customers would agree that NuFone should spend its money on building out data centers in more locations, instead of blowing money on a fancy headquarters and NOC.

Response: Yeah, its kinda of hard to afford rent on even a simple office when you only have a dozen customers at most. This is just a fancy way of saying your operating out of your parents basement.

Jeremy: Go check out http://join.nuf...

Response: A "signup page" is no indication of a working business. You've offered NO proof of a growing business, or even a business that actually has a single happy client. The only positive responses posted here have been from your "alter egos" posting from the same IP you happen to be coming from. I could probably find dozens if not hundreds of companies that have quit operation but their web hosts didn't remove the pages because they are paid through the end of the year, so again, a working signup page doesn't mean anything.

Jeremy: Why should NuFone spend money on anything more than a mailbox?

Response: Because any legitimate business who isn't operating out of their parents basement does.

> They pass though tens of people's hands and miles of machinery

nicklinn: read again what I posted. The money order was cashed. I know exactly who stole it: a VoIP scam going by the name "Nufone" (Jeremy McNamara). Proof of this has been submitted to the postal inspector, and they are investigating.

> Postal money orders are one of the most unreliable ways of sending money.

The mail is unreliable; postal money orders aren't. That's why money orders exist!

> a sworn afadavid of non-reciept from the intended reciver typically has things wrapped up in no time

That would be fine by me. That way, I could get my money back, and Jerry could still keep the money for himself. :)

333Geesh!

voipdog,

You really need to relax. Postal money orders are one of the most unreliable ways of sending money. They pass though tens of people's hands and miles of machinery (at any point the envelope can be torn open either by accident or intentionally and the order stolen) to get to their desination and when it does get to the final destination all one has to do is sign a name on the order to cash it. There is no requirement to show ID or letters of incorperation to cash it. This is why very few companies will deal with them. They are however insured, fill out the forms, let the wheels turn and eventually you will get your money back. Had you not burned that bridge, a sworn afadavid of non-reciept from the intended reciver typically has things wrapped up in no time, but since you instead have come out rattling your sablre you probably will have to wait out the full 3-6 months or whatever it takes USPI to wrap up the investigation.

We have nothing to hide. So, by all means have your legal council contact NuFone Legal council, Tom Graves or Martin Medeiros at SMH Law in Portland, OR. Prior to your public disclosure, we have never been made aware of any such money order or certified mail letter.

JerryC: Again with more lies... We have been and are accepting new customers - Go check out http://join.nufone.net. We are in perfect standing with PayPal and are processing significant volumes of transactions each and every month. We are absolutely able to provide DIDs in any US State and now even Canada.... We have had a total of ONE BBB complaint, which we have responded to.

Not a single person from the USPS service has contacted us nor our legal council and only a very very small percentage of NuFone customers are making any complaints - or are even bothering to read this wiki page.

Why should NuFone spend money on anything more than a mailbox? We are a small internet telephone company that does not give away free Asterisk training on a $10 deposit for VoIP Service. If you want our support services, we charge for them. I'm sorry, but that is the policy that we are operating under.

I think our customers would agree that NuFone should spend its money on building out data centers in more locations, instead of blowing money on a fancy headquarters and NOC.

> please present your truth or be prepared to hear from our legal department.

I would be glad to hear from your "legal department" (meaning, I suppose, Jeremy). In fact, I've been trying to get in touch with them, because you owe me money.

If anyone cares to verify, written notice was sent to Nufone by certified mail on July 8, 2008. You can visit the USPS tracking/confirmation page at http://www.usps.com/shipping/trackandconfirm.htm and enter the label number: 7007 3020 0000 7022 7427.

You would only have a libel case if anything I've stated is false. I just happen to have a stack of paperwork, here, supporting what I said.

333Owner covering up again

by jerryc, Monday 01 of September, 2008 [00:48:17 UTC]
Again the owner of this company attempts to defer the truth.

The realities of this company:

They have MULTIPLE complaints against them from all angles, including Paypal, US Postal Service, and who knows how many customers.

They have not been able to sign up new customers since March and possibly before. They may or may not have this fixed but the owner has made every attempt to hide this fact while still allowing potential customers to pay on the website for new service, that he can't provide.

It appears as though ALL of his DID providers have cut him off, most for financial reasons, others for complaints.

His posted address is FAKE, its one of those mail services, this guy doesn't even have a real office.

A mail fraud indictment IS coming, its just not been formalized yet.

333Blatent Lies

by n8twj, Sunday 31 of August, 2008 [16:00:29 UTC]
VoIPDog, you are treading on thin ice. NuFone Inc. has NOT been indicted for ANYTHING much less Mail Fraud. Need I remind you about the Libel laws - Blatent disregard for the truth is one major factor - so please present your truth or be prepared to hear from our legal department.

We take slander and libel very seriously.
