<br>
But I gather that international companies don't value the African market so much since the sales revenue are too low, yet risk of business through fraud is high. Credit card fraud is rampant in Africa and it's hard to apprehend the suspects. The legal and
geographic boundaries make it hard to apprehend crooks.<br>
<br>
Ideally, If anybody lays hands on your CC or debit card, they can do online shopping with it. And card cloning and identity theft is rampant in Africa because most of us don't know the consequences. If the owner complains of the theft and purchase, he is entitled
to a cash refund. So someone has to cushion the losses.<br>
<br>
Often we let petrol station and supermarket attendants dissapear with out CC. Do we know what they are doing with it?<br>

Might you be in the know on the above issues? Just got wind that that international players are no longer respecting e-Transactions completed in kenya via Credit Cards issued and used in Kenyan digital space?<br>

What may have triggered such an eventuality?<br>
