Pure and utter nonsense.
Or perhaps the hassle of dealing with stolen US credit card numbers
from clients outside the US costs far more money than you could
hope to make back with the purchases of US nationals travelling
overseas?
Could well be muppets, but surely there are other possibilities.
Sad but true, we have had to turn off signups outside the US because
of that very problem. Yes, I am sure we lose some sales, but in
general it is not worth the fraud costs.
Why don't the fraudsters just use Open US Proxies?
