How much trust exists on the internet..
for example would you buy something off of me for say £15, with no actually guarantee you will get anything from me, other then my word.
Does my word mean anything to anyone on the internet?
The internet can be a very powerful tool, but will/do too many people take advantage of 'trust' therefore making it worthless.
The reason for this was beacause just recently someone I met in a chat room e-mailed me saying he would buy a CD off me for £20-
because he claimed he could not buy it where he lived, which again he claimed was sweden.
At first I was very sceptical, could i trust this person? Could i trust anyone... to me the more inportant thing wasn't the money, but having to give my address to a complete stranger.
And to my disbelief, he recieved it, and sent me the money.
I was wrong, but this is just one person...
