Once this is tackled, then we can talk about fees and other related issues. But Insecurity? This needs serious attention.

Their loss in case of credit card fraud is minimal, you can't steal the server. They will shut down your web account in 30 days with no financial loss to them. Show me one website which sells actual products that ship to your address in Nigeria... M One more comment, you found one website which is not shipping any products, they sell space on web server.

Most of these scammers are from Nigeria and Indonesia, where credit card fraud is considered a sport, much like soccer, only the participants get paid better." I would say not all Nigerians are scammers, but 5-10% is enough. And yes, anyone accepting credit cards from Nigeria is an idiot that is going to go out of business soon. If he starts a new business afterwards he won't accept the cards from Nigeria anymore. If you think you can't change the country yourself, look at Libya, Egypt, Syria, Jemen and other countries... People are doing something there. Nigerians are doing nothing. M I have done my research, have you done yours:

It is very likely that nobody will accept your credit card. If you do find an idiot "stupid enough to accept your credit card from Nigeria" it may actually be a a scam website and they will gladly take your money since they don't care about security, they don't plan to ship the product to you anyway. The news is bad, but don't kill the messenger, rebel and change your political system, stop corruption and some day maybe your credit cards will be accepted outside Nigeria.
