So some of eBay's people came in Romania in order to clear their name(sustaining that they're not affiliated with everything happening here) so they came with US Secret Service agents to sustain their words. Albena said that she was "watched" by the Romanian hackers(kids with age between 15 and 22) when she was on Romania(I guess kids can be very scary here in Romania).
My advice for those who call themselves "victims of the Romanian hackers":
- never buy an iPod/laptop/watch/phone/anything with 50$-100$(you'll get at most a potato or a rock in a box);
- never tell your Credit Card information(cvv, pin, expiration date, card number, account holder) to anyone;
- don't send money to you mail-ordered bride, she won't come to US(because you're fat and ugly);
Respect these three rules and you'll never get scammed again.

Romania is a grim place in more ways than one. Former pro-Nazi regime, then Soviet outpost, then weird Communist dictatorship and now developing nation: Per-capita income here is just one-third the European Union average. Fearing a flood of cheap labor, most European countries have barred or restricted Romanians from job hunting in their countries.
Yeah, we have a lots of computer experts(but they've left the country working for MS or Google or other IT company) that's why there are still people who doesn't know how to install a program or how to check their email. I hope that after reading this article Google, MS and Y! will move to Romania, cause it's full with experts.
P.S.
LaterEdit: "You don't know who to trust there. You can't use the hotel phone line. When you step outside, you can spot the local hackers in their cars, circling around," said Spasova, 33.
You can spot the local hackers in their cars, circling around... that is very funny you know why? Because the surface of that city is: 89,5 km². And that means it's a small city, so when they're not scamming the boys are riding their cars(as I heard all those who perform scamming drive BMW). As a joke: "Some of them bought BMWs but they don't have driver's license and guess with who's money they bought those cars? :)
