Kurosagi

A few months ago when I was shopping on the internet I would probably almost got scammed if not for this manga... I'm so grateful to having read Kurosagi. Especially when it comes to dealing with online scams since I never had that kind of experience before.

Story:

Spoiler

Okay it was the first time I was shopping off in a website where they open small shops(kinda like in the manga arc--where sellers aren't big companies and etc).
I was looking to buy a 1TB HD for a low price and there were a lot of shops(like the ones in this arc) selling them. Note: The website which hosted the shops have a policy to only transfer the balance AFTER the purchaser has confirmed the goods. Since it's pretty safe with that policy, I dared venturing to order some dodgy cheap goods(it was ~350RMB for one HD so I ordered 2 of them, which is around 120 USD for 2...) even if I doubted their credibility...since if it was a scam->it'll be okay thanks to the website's policy. And if it's not a scam then it's all good because I'll get on my hands some cheap and awesome hard drives.

Before ordering I checked a lot of shops and researched them a bit...There were like 400 people ordering that HD...There were even good reviews even though there were little. I also thought that it might be a farce but I still gave a try in hope that it's not a scam(but everything pointed out that it's a scam though, sigh->the shop only opened a few months ago; no other items in sale; reviews are few and could be made amongst the scammers themselves; in the item statistics graph(where you could check the product's stats etc.), there were even people(~40%) that decided to return the goods(maybe they were those that figured out that they were scams after they got the same phone call I received later(see below vvv)). But anyway despite knowing these, I still gave in a try.

Then one week later, this dude that phoned me said that "their company" can't use the "pay after confirmation method(this method implied that if the goods are fake, the purchaser can decide to NOT confirm the order so that the seller(if it's a scam) won't get their cash)"...
And instead, the guy asked me if they can switch the paying form to the "pay in person(by cash) method(where the mailman come to you the product then you give him the change)"...And this is so obvious that I...sigh, phoned my cousin and told him that it's so obvious that it's a farce so he could report the shop in my stead(the reason I didn't do it because I'm limited in Chinese conversations). He had a pretty hard time because he had a fight with that "employee"(cuz he was telling them that they were scams XD). Then one week later, that shop got closed down LOL.

You should probably just order from newegg, tigerdirect, and cosco.

1 thing i dont understand is..in ch 32 Yoshikawa (the girl) is kicked out of the house then in the following chapters she's still living there wtf ???
