Adding on to this, if the cost of regulatory compliance and losses from fraud exceed the profit to be made in a country it won't be given service. Of late, increased regulatory costs/risks[^] are pushing international banks to reduce the level of business they do with the developing world. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Say my Hi to Mrs Benita Racchidi, I hope she has at last found the good samaritan she's been searching for the past 10 years to transfer her $ 400 millions for charity purpose which was acquired when her father's friend was the finance minister of Nigeria 20 years ago.

Only one country has a scam named after its legal code because it is so ubiquitous. You guessed it Nigeria.

Calm down.
They are called Nigerian scams because the first wave of them on the internet came from Nigeria, but they can come from anywhere in the world.
The advanced payment scam actually goes back to the late 18th or early 19th century in Europe. Rightly or wrongly Nigeria is stuck with the reputation now because of the internet publicity.

Explains a lot: I'm guessing it's so that it bounces in a straight line. Looking at the players, I think their heads might explode if they had to deal with a real ball bouncing!
Apparently, they aren't supposed to use their hands to control it either - but that doesn't seem to stop them all.
