pirotase: i do understand what you are saying. Of cuz that i do know why you wonder about that.
That's most of the HK people think of. When the days when i was still in HK. I also act as you do right now. Not easy to trust people. Even tho soemthing is very easy to get. There is a frace " There has not such a big frog will jump on a street". We heard that since we were born.
That's what i mean, it is not an health additude. We shouldn't think that. We too belieave on something if it is too easy to get, it must be something wrong, or is a trick, or.... soemthing. After i come to here, settle here, join into the sociaty here. I travel around and learned that this is not good. I mean not good, is both for the one who are trying to give, and the one who get which is ourself.
In north america, big store do a lot of promotions. They dont' do discount on items instead, they do mail in rebate. HK should have this also, is after you buy an item with a normal price, then with an application, mail it and get your money back. It seems like there has alot of steps and nonsence. But who carez, because some of the item is free. You buy it with 10 bugs. then they mail you back the 10 bugs of check later. How is that work, i dont' know. and i don't care
The first time i saw it. Me and my dad just thinking about "is that a trick, are they just trying to get our information to do smoething illegal? that is just not making sence, an item for free? how do they make money then?" however, we did the rebate. And after a month later. The money did come back. After that we realize that there really has a big frog will jump on a street.
For HongKoner, i can sence that he is trying to give with kindness. If you suspect that there has a virus, think about why does he has to send it in a harder way. If you are legal believer, call the police. But since than, don't ever photocopy anything from books that written by profesional. Don't share comics, Don't share books to see. There has much more illegal against the copyright you are doing it every day without notice.
