Good reason to lock Romania out

Want to know one of the reasons why most of the major online retailers will keep refusing to let you in for a long time to come, just because you happen to be from Romania? Romania ranks fifth among the countries that generated the highest number of frauds via the Internet in 2002, accounting for 1.7% of the total such incidents worldwide, the annual report of the Internet Fraud Complaint Center (IFCC), co-ordinated by the FBI, shows. United States of America rank first, with US citizens having generated 76.7% of the total number of online frauds last year. Nigeria ranks second, with 5.1% of the total frauds, due to the infamous “Nigerian letters”, while Canada ranks third with 3.5% of the total. South Africa, which contributed 2% to the total number of online frauds in 2002, ranks fourth, right above Romania, while Spain ranks sixth (1.3%). ZF
