UK Blackberry traffic is bogus?

I sent few hundreds leads to a lead generation offer but the advertiser is not happy, and sent me a list of leads to let me understand the problem.
To me looks like many of those names are from outside UK, but can't explain them why. What do you suggest me to reply?
(I have chosen BB because I thought that corporate phones were the right demo for that offer)

I'm a bit confused you sent leads or clicks?

RIM straffic can be problematic as they use a lot of proxies enroute, making exact location a nightmare. I avoid it like the plague.

Been addressed in a few other topics before.

RIM = sux.

The problem with these UK blackberries is that they are registered as UK devices but ended up in Africa.

The device itself is registered as being UK on the networks. You target UK and that's why you get many clicks from africa.

Oh and yes... they can convert since they are regarded as UK traffic. Just not much use to the advertiser

I always regretted RIM was so hard to target since in certain geos BB used to be very popular among the upper class.
