These people target American, British and other foreign visitors to Uganda.
I am writing this as one of several international donors who wanted nothing more than to support vulnerable children and grassroots charitable initiatives in Uganda. We believed we were funding an initiative specifically created to protect vulnerable minors, build schools, and provide direct support to struggling gold mining communities.
Instead, our goodwill was exploited by a man named Geofrey Mutabaali, who goes by "Jeff" and is currently operating in Kampala and Jinja.
Jeff gained access to our group by faking a romantic relationship with a dedicated international volunteer, speaking of marriage and claiming a shared vision to lift up underprivileged children and gold mining families. He persuaded us to provide substantial funding, promising that the money would build local schools, purchase vital equipment, and provide security and survival aid to the community.
Five independent donors stepped forward to back this cause. Between us, over GBP 220,000 was taken:
- Donor 1 (myself): over GBP 80,000
- Donor 2: over GBP 80,000
- Donor 3: over GBP 38,000 (their entire life savings)
- Donor 4: GBP 20,000
- Donor 5: GBP 4,000 (combined contributions)
None of the money went to help children or struggling miners. Jeff kept every pound transferred to him. Every confirmation, certificate, and bank document we received was forged, accompanied by endless invented reasons to demand even more cash.
He is still targeting new people. He specifically approaches foreign volunteers, visitors, and Latter-day Saint (Mormon) church networks. Just days ago, he was seen picking up new foreign arrivals at the airport.
We have gathered evidence, including bank transfer records, the falsified documents, and extensive chat records. The files are being submitted to investigative journalists and the relevant authorities. If you are a volunteer, visitor, or church member in Uganda and are approached with a similar charity or mining funding request, please be very careful.
