Ever heard of the Western Union scam?  No offense to anyone in any other
country, but personally I prefer to deal with people in the US who are
covered by US laws.  My comments above had absolutely nothing to do with
race, color, nationality, religion, etc.  It's because it's easier to go
after someone legally if they try to rip me off and they are in the same
country as me.  And I know there a lot of businesses that have taken the
same stance on who they will sell products to.
