Jason Verkaart and Tina May the scammers behind straitfromjapan and japan-retro. Are soon about to kick off a new scamming venture www. jaysgames.com.
Straitfromjapan had some of N-G.com's members believe they were legit.
www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=107320 What's sad is the lack
of creativity . How many packages can UPS possibly lose from one person? When
straitfromjapan was closing up the thief den ,and you googled SFJ it popped up
coming soon Japan-retro. Now, when you search for japan-retro it says you've guessed it jaysgames coming soon. Buyer beware blah blah etc... Oh yeah be on the look out for a new account on N-G.com trying to discredit me and steal your
money.

So what is the breakdown here?
The infamous BUY•RITE conducted business under STRAIGHTFROMJAPAN then conducted business under JAPAN-RETRO and currently as of 7-12-06 intends to conduct business under WWW. JAYSGAMES.COM?

something like that

http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/ebayISAP.dll?viewfeedback&userid=japan-retro and previously http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/ebayISAP.dll?viewfeedback&userid=straitfromjapan Its amazing how they use the same old scam. UPS did this or UPS did that. Notice how some people have been robbed of the same exact amount of money. That's because this bastard tries to
sell the same item 7 or 8 times even uses the same picture. I remember losing out
on an auction by SFJ .
Only to have the same listing appear several times over
the same exact system minor scuffs on the box and all. In the End when they feel
the new name is too dirty . Presto name change time when SFJ was done stealing
and was no longer a registered member of ebay. The website SFJ.com was all of
a sudden under contruction with a banner saying coming soon japan-retro.
Now, japan-retro following multiple negative feedbacks is no longer a registered member of ebay. Bingo the website japan-retro.com is now suddenly underconstruction . Jaysgames.com asks buyers to contact them through
the email account sales@japan-retro .

I only mention this because they have done business members here. Also, they
list quite a few neo-geo items.

Yeah SFJ or whatever their names are a bunch of thieving fuckheads. I never trusted them from day one. A good scammer does a few good deals with the premise to continue the good deals and then pulls the wool over some unsuspecting victim and run off with their money.

Another thing I just noticed, if you google the name Japan-Retro such as This Here
read the description of the site.

Now if you Google jaysgames.com Here

The same description is used. I have seen scammers, but they aren't even trying here.

Exactly, not just scammers lazy fucking scammers. Just trying to give the community a heads on future bullshit. Now, watch and see a thread pop up
in few months "jaysgames stole my money blah blah UPS". I wish someone
dressed as a UPS delivery guy rapes him in the shower.
