Who Gives Malaysia A Bad Name?

Many people from foreign countries are weary of Malaysians and equate us with those of people from certain African countries. Can we blame them when we have one of the highest incidences of credit card fraud?

Who should we point our fingers at for credit card fraud? Do we blame the government or the internet? Do we blame our own IQ for being so high that we could crack the credit card system?

Well, we only have ourselves to blame. When there is no demand for clone cards, how can such a business survive? It is because that ordinary folks were paying for such cards that the clone card makers continued to clone the cards with stolen credit card numbers.

You see, because of the greed of all these people, they have hurt the reputation of fellow Malaysians, they have hurt the prospects of the younger generation. Just look at how difficult it is to get a breakthrough in the international business arena.

Even now that the Government has tried to stop these activities, this is still happening only with less intensity. However, the image that we have already projected to the world cannot be wiped out in a single day or year. How long will it take for us to redeem ourselves?

Hi,

Because of these culprits, we can not join big money making programs like Clickbank and CJ !

Even Paypal is wary of us now. I hope Paypal does not ban us like what Clickbank and CJ do.

Hi Vedis!

Thanks for your comment!

I know how you feel about Paypal because that is my fear as well. Because of the bad image we have, it's gonna be hard to redeem ourselves.
