    While I agree with most of that. I don't agree that you can't find them.

    You can only find them if you’ve cooperation from the countries that are sheltering them and it seems nobody’s willing to do that.

    A threat of trade sanctions from the US and EU would likely solve it.

    It could be solved by tightening regulation and there’s no reason that would reduce competition.

    The reality of this is more than just a minor annoyance. It often hits the most vulnerable people: older & less savvy.

    It is likely at least tens of millions of fraud €$£ flowing into criminal organisations. It may even be financing terrorism and all sorts of stuff.

    It’s also a direct cost to some people who don’t get refunds, and a significant indirect cost to consumers though premiums on insurance and bank charges etc that’s being used to do credit / debit card fraud costs.

    There’s no free lunch or victimless crime. The money comes from somewhere.
