how safe is to send copies of my credit card, identity card and card statement either by email or by fax?
i have been trying to download some mobile software from the internet. but i’ve been told that my country has been blacklisted due to the high rate of identity fraud emanating from some unsavory citizens. However I’ve been told that I can register my card by faxing or emailing copies of my credit card, identity card and credit card statement to the merchant. Is this safe?

Not at all. You are handing over all of the components someone would need to commit identity theft. There is no reason anyone should be asked for these things, especially a silly reason as a "blacklisted" country. Every country has unsavory citizens, and no smart business would blacklist a whole country and cut off all of the law-abiding citizens.
all i can say is good luck,hope you have plenty of money to
pay the bills that are not yours.
Not at all safe
