[asterisk-biz] India VoIP termination - FRAUD- BE Careful

Of, course, the escrow agent has to actually do something more than just 
"guard" the money.

Now there are escrow agencies which receive CDRs from both parties in 
real time or in bathes every few hours. So, in case of a dispute the 
escrow agent acts as a referee, too.

Best regards,
Vlasis Hatzistavrou.
