The verdict is out: Nigeria is still among the top ten countries from which fraudulent credit card transactions and other forms of cyber-crime originate though USA and UK lead the pack. According to WikiNews:
The United Kingdom is listed second in a report on global cyber-crime statistics, behind the United States and ahead of cyber-crime “hotspots” Nigeria and Romania. The 2007 Internet Crime Report was released in April by the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), a joint operation between the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National White Collar Crime Center.
It is interesting to note that 3 sub-Saharan African countries are listed among the top ten perpetrators with Nigeria taking the lead. 
The 2007 Internet Crime Report cites the top ten countries by amount of perpetrators of online crime. In descending order, the top ten list includes the United States, the United Kingdom, Nigeria, Canada, Romania, Italy, Spain, South Africa, Russia, and Ghana…

the worlds most leading fraudulent country will soon be located in Africa as Nigeria and others are practicing now.I here by say this on the ad that Ghanaians especially the youth if not handle and counselled with care will also break into these fraud. An advice to the youth is to keep away from the so clled scammers and hacking activities.This is because the consiquencies of this will lead to a great damage of name forever in ones life. I love all the youth and will give any assisstance to them in terms of hacking and will be their friends in any way by provinding to you all the necessary information that one may need to advance in the hacking environment.i will write to anybody who thinks that being with a helper is a great thing.But i will not write to anyone who ends up in jail.i am only t-thr years and some how a literate in computer. i have not gone to any computer school but always learn from friends who have their own personal computers and even do more than them. i need someone who can devote to give me a free gift of computer. thank yallll
