How else is this administration going to make money?!? How dare you...if they do not accept bribes...what is there left for them? This is a premium buy...First one to beat competition gets the worm. So, you pay Trump, trump gives you access...then you pay subscription to SAMA lol.
I tried it once and they somehow decided I'm not worth, if I try again it fails with "We couldn't start verification. You may not be eligible for this verification flow right now. Please try again later, or contact support if you think this is a mistake.", not sure if they think I'm part of an APT or whatever.
Just saw your comment.
I'm not American, but I am a citizen of a nation that's not under any kind of sanctions/embargos (Italy) and some friends of mine managed to get approved.
The fact that my account is new (I tried applying with a business account that was created a couple weeks ago) probably doesn't help.
Is it Fraud though? Think about it...sounds to me like data obfuscation. There are no laws that enforce the truth if there is no financial damage. So the previous comment stands.
I think you're wrong, but I'm not a lawyer and I don't operate on the fringes of fraudulent behaviour, so I might be miscalibrated.
But my premise is that there is benefit derived from the lie, either financial or otherwise. I believe this is clearly fraud and risks civil penalties if pursued by the party who used the information to extend the benefit.
An interesting case is if you lie about previous salary to a prospective employer who does not have the ability to confirm the data. In that context, with no formal pre-employment agreements or contracts, the lie is probably just negotiation strategy with no civil liabilities. I repeat that I am not a lawyer. :)
