"We advise against shopping on the internet due to recently increasing fraud cases.  It should not be forgotten that sharing credit card information online can result in serious consequences."

Aydın Agaoglu, President of Turkish Consumers Union (Tuketiciler Birligi)

The above quote was in the Turkish press last week (thanks, Caglar).  I wondered who these jokers were and browsed their website, Tuketiciler.org.  Not surprisingly, the site is not much more than fear mongering and calls for vairous boycotts. 

I invite the Turkish media to be a bit mroe selective in responding to PR requests.
