Allegedly Turkey has a lot of fraud. Many years back, a guy who worked where I worked at the time (we'll say, Company A) left and formed a competing company (Company B). It was OK, nobody really considered it real competition. He was a colorful individual, and so his official company blog contained a lot of screeds about personal gripes. This gentleman was Turkish, which becomes important in a second. One such a saga came when a Turkish company (Company C) tried to buy their product. They refused to process the transaction, and a company representative literally over email told them to go F themselves, saying it's company policy to not do business with Turkey or Turkish people (again, the founder being Turkish) because of the huge amounts of fraud from that country. The spurned customer posted their version of events on their company blog too. It was a great time to work at Company A. This saga was our Friday cafeteria chatter.
